My philosophy of art is simple: I paint what I want; if someone else is moved by it, that's great! I derive great joy from selling my original paintings to people who truly love them!
JIm Harris ArtWorX Studio is my home studio from which I produce my 'stained-glass-canvas' acrylic paintings. I have a degree in Art (oils, watercolor) from James Madison University, but for 34 years I have been an ordained pastor in the United Methodist Church. In 2004 I retired from full-time ministry, but I still serve in ministry settings. Currently I am the Interim Pastor of Wellspring UMC in Williamsburg, VA.
I create colorful acrylic paintings that tend to remind the viewer of stained glass. I call these paintings my 'stained-glass-canvas' works. They are obviously influenced by years of church work, though they generally are not 'religious' or 'spiritual' in nature. An exception to this are the Christian Icon paintings I produce in the 'stained-glass-canvas' style. My 'stained-glass-canvas' paintings tend to use flowers, still lifes, and nature as the subject matter, often influenced by the beautiful scenery that exists all around me in the Shenandoah Valley where I chose to live. I also produce coastal themed paintings for my Outer Banks galleries. Currently I am producing a series of stained-glass-canvas paintings of Staunton, Virginia landmarks.
