JES : Artist & Wanderer
I was born on Christmas Eve in the middle of a good old- fashioned Minnesota blizzard.
Growing up in the vicinities of Minneapolis, Chicago, Atlanta & Detroit,
I developed a fascination with color, patterns, textures, people watching,
travel and a preference for sunny warm places.
I have always been intrigued and inspired by "the story" within a moment or an image and with words, phrases and quotes.
I am primarily self-taught through experimentation,
the varied experiences of life and the joys of accidental discovery.
This gallery website is representational of my visual and written perspectives of our beautifully diverse yet imperiled world.
Raised in the midwest USA I was frequently schooled
with two adages which guide my heart and my work :
KEEP IT SIMPLE and stick with the basics. (mom)
WORK HARD and always come to the table with clean hands. (dad)
I hope you enjoy my works presented here and
that they bring a smile to your face or spark a pleasant memory or a moment of quiet reflection.
Perhaps even ignite a creative impulse of your own.
So with clean hands I humbly present the current state of jamesedwarddesigns.........
