SP: HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN SURREALISM?
JIM: My art was surreal from the start I just didn't know that's what it was called.

SP: WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
JIM: Inspiration is something I try not to take for granted because it comes and goes. Curiosity engages me and then inspiration follows. I also love the mystery of it all. I'm never quite sure what will happen next or why I did what I did but yet there it is.

SP: WHAT MEDIUMS YOU PRESENTLY WORK IN?
JIM: Acrylic on canvas

SP: WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON PRESENTLY?
JIM: Stop Motion Animation -Mold Casting - Foam Latex and Armature Building

SP: DESCRIBE YOUR CREATIVE/PAINTING PROCESS
JIM: Chance and serendipity play a huge role in my painting. The outcome is completely unpredictable and quite often new ideas are drawn from a finished piece. Sometimes I'll scan through images until I find one that interests me. I observe it irrationally, doing so allows new images to appear all on their own and then I attempt to capture what I see the best I can.



SP: DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL HISTORY WITH ART
JIM: I have been drawing for as long as I can remember and I started painting in 1982.
I graduated from Southampton College in 1990. I have done commissioned work, taught art workshops, had art shows and paint whenever I can.
