That vision has developed into my love of creating collages from unused items that I may find anywhere…on the street, in yard and estate sales, in my own home. My family and friends understand my predilection and often contribute to my treasures. Life is a treasure hunt!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMy first influences were my artistic parents. My Dad was a commercial artist by trade, and a fine artist who painted with a sense of whimsy for fun. My mother was a painter in both impressionist and realistic traditions. Educational influences include Pratt Institute and The Philadelphia College of Art. Individual artist influences included Kurt Schwitters’ 3D Boxes, Alexander Calder’s mobiles, Harry Bertoia’s “moving” sculptures, and the wooden street collages of Louise Nevelson who I met personally.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMy technical proficiency has developed through my experimentation with various art supplies and mediums to include acrylic paints, spray paint, metal, glue, pallet knives, different brushes, getting my hands wet, and having fun putting my treasures together in unique designs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMy favorite themes include cityscapes, fire escapes, beach reflections, flowers, motorcycles, people and whimsical characters.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn summary I love my creative world, meeting creative people, and contributing to a healthy planet by recycling materials. I understand that creativity is not the exclusive domain of individuals who create art. I strive hard to balance my creative world with the real world of family and work. My family is always my priority.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMy wish is for a peaceful world where all individuals respect each other and the planet. I have been fortunate that my own immediate nuclear world has been consistent with that wish.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"America at 250: A Celebration Through Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52046981693742,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8101\/files\/Phillips_James_January6th_MixedMedia_395_1_74a59dae-4017-4394-b6c4-ed3542f38ced.jpg?v=1778983731","url":"https:\/\/www.crossroadsartcenter.com\/products\/phillips-james-title-january-6th","provider":"Crossroads Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
