Jim Fox began his painting career four years ago.

"I never imagined that painting would become part of my life. After taking classes I view the world in a different way. The shadows, textures, values and colors are features I had never really noticed before. I continually see a potential subject and wonder how I can put it to paper."
"My wife, also an artist, has been supportive. I look forward to painting every chance I have and am constantly amazed with whatever success comes my way."
