Based in the Missouri Ozarks, Jimmie can produce beautiful art at a rapid pace. In addition to the art that is already for sale on his website, he also does commission work, charity work, and art for churches. He enjoys painting landscapes, and animals. “It’s not me drawing,” he notes, “It’s like God did it.”

“If it’s somebody that I like or I am impressed with, that is the person I draw,” explains Jimme. One notable celebrity that he sketched was Dolly Parton, to whom he sent the piece..”

He also has written a book titled How to Do Art Projects in Seven Different Mediums. Also, his two most favorite artists are Norman Rockwell and the Missouri-based Thomas Benton. He also admires the old Masters such as Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, and Rubens.

One time when he and his late wife Sharon were visiting the Louvre in Paris, he confided to her, “Man, I’d love to have artwork in here.” His dream was realized when in 2023 and in 2024, a new painting of his was displayed in the Louvre. Other paintings are being displayed in Austria, Belgium, and even a castle in Germany.

“If anyone goes and tries to fulfill their dreams, stay with it no matter what others say about it,” concludes Jimmie. “If you please God, then it will please everybody. He is watching over you. Trust in Him.”
