About Me

Based in Maine, Jim works as a fine art photographer, book artist, and teacher. He also worked for two decades as a fine art digital printmaker. Before committing himself to the artistic life in 2006, he pursued the classic artistic career path of NASA engineer and corporate attorney.

The core of Jim’s work is photographing the natural world and embodying those photographs in a fine print, but that work now includes exploration of traditional bookmaking practices to create handmade artist books utilizing his photography. He has also expanded his practice to focus on advocacy, using photographs, photographic prints, and artist books to advance environmental causes.

Jim has received numerous awards, including being honored as Artist-in-Residence at Acadia National Park, Chiricahua National Park in Arizona, the Baer Art Center in Iceland, and the Book Arts Studio at Maine Media Workshops + College.

Jim's work has been exhibited widely and resides in museum, public, university, corporate, and private collections.
