About Jim Shore
The enormous popularity of award-winning artist Jim Shore is the result of a lifetime of dedication, inspiration and plain old hard work. And as with most successful people, some good fortune has played a part as well. As Jim puts it, "Art is something I have done all my life. It's what I have always loved and the only thing I ever wanted to do. But making a living as an artist isn't easy. There are thousands of very talented people out there that never get a chance to show what they can do. I've been lucky. Not only do I get to do what I love, I get to share it with people around the world. I have been given a tremendous gift and I thank God for it every day.
While working with Enesco Jim perfected his unique style, combining elements of folk art and a vibrant color palette applied to traditional themes. To Jim, a Santa Claus isn't just a Santa Claus,it is a canvas to be painted. Taking designs from quilting, rosemalling, applique and flat perspective folk art, Jim creates an intricate and colorful work of art that reflects our shared cultural heritage yet is unmistakably Jim Shore. I can not ever imagine myself ever tiring of this, Jim says of distinctive combination of themes and motifs I get to create two designs every time I develop a new piece namely what the item will be and then what colors and patterns will go on it. The variety keeps me truly inspired!
