His current hand-formed clay sculptures and vessels capture the archaic essence of artifacts unearthed from a more primitive period in history. Jim produces his work out of his residence studio in New Britain, the Farmington Valley Arts Center, as well as the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill. Aside from his work with clay, Jim�s paintings and prints have also been exhibited in Connecticut galleries and museums.
