Don’t ever think your ship has sailed. Whatever age you are, whatever your experience level, and whatever art you’re doing, find your spot for that.
About Jimmy
- I’ve been interested in art since I was a child.
- Rather than go straight into the arts after high school, I started my career as a software engineer.
- While I had built a career in software development, I kept finding myself dabbling in the arts—I’ve tried out a variety of mediums, including woodworking, floral design, and beaded jewelry.
- I wanted to try my hand at something different, so I took classes in silversmithing at The Craft Guild of Dallas as a method of making components to incorporate into my beaded jewelry.
- I liked silversmithing so much that I took the leap to specifically specialize in metals.
- I relocated to Colorado and continued training at Denver School of Metal Arts and Boulder Metalsmithing Association.
- I’ve worked with silver for the last 15 years and have my own studio at an artists collective, Wabi-Sabi Metal Studio.
