About

Jim is a self-taught artist, from Burlington, Kansas. Jim has done murals for over 30 years in various Kansas cities, private homes and public spaces. To date he has done over one hundred murals in the Coffey County area, Kansas City, Wichita, and Topeka. The majority of Jim’s murals have historical significance. Jim researches the history of the area, or subject prior to starting a mural. Jim meets with all parties involved in commissioning the art. He does a planning sketch and welcomes input before doing a final draft and starting to paint the mural. Jim enjoys and welcomes members of the community to volunteer working on the mural from start to finish.
