Jim Hollon is a writer-turned-painter. He spent much of his adult life pursuing a career as a journalist, editor and author. Late in his career he was urged by a professional artist friend to “get serious” about his art. He launched headlong into self-directed art studies. He attended numerous art workshops conducted by artists whom he respected, read books and practiced, practiced, practiced.
Jim has since had his art in galleries in Oregon and numerous art venues in Arizona, including participation for seven years (and counting) in the annual invitational Mountain Oyster Club show and sale, the prestigious Ironwood Gallery at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, the Four Corners Gallery in the Tucson Desert Art Museum, plus numerous guest artist showings in the Tucson and Tubac areas. His art is in the homes of collectors from many parts of the U.S.
Jim resides now in Green Valley, Arizona with his wife, Barbara.
