Jim lives in the foothills of Loveland with his wife Kathy and three Golden Retrievers.  He retired in 2022 after 38 years working in a metallurgical optical microscope service technician.  He is a self-taught artist who enjoys photography, stained glass, woodworking and sculpting.  His works range from bears to ballerinas and often contain an element of humor.  Sharing his work with others is a source of great enjoyment
