As Jim puts it, “Art is something I’ve done all my life. It’s what I’ve always loved and the only thing I ever wanted
to do. But making a living as an artist isn’t easy. There are thousands of very talented people out there that
never get a chance to show what they can do. I’ve been lucky. Not only do I get to do what I love,I get to share
it with people around the world. I’ve been given a tremendous gift and I thank God for it every day.”

The magic of Jim’s design style is that it can be applied to a huge variety of themes and formats, creating a charming andinnovative American country décor statement for the home. “My work is not a single statement,
but a lot of elements mixed together. I use colors that I love – colonial, antiques, jewel tones and some unusual
colors that I loved at the moment. Put together it’s a pleasure to look at. It doesn’t really matter what item it’s on.
It’s just fun to look at — American Folk-Art.”

The enormous popularity of award-winning artist Jim Shore

old hard work. And as with most successful people, some
good fortune has played a part as well.
