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
