Jim Williams is a mostly self-taught impressionist realist oil painter mainly in a style related to classical American and European artists. For 23 years Jim worked as a caseworker in foster care and delinquency services for the State of Michigan. In his retirement he considers painting historical and current landmarks a mission that preserves an important interpretive record of where we have been. It is not his intention to paint a subject to exact representation but to define these themes as recognizable using a balanced approach and a personal reflection of time and place.
