NEIGHBORHOOD IMAGES

JAMES GRIFFIN
James Griffin is an artist living in IBSS, and the neighbor-hood becomes a theme for some of his paintings. His wife, Debbie, said “During his daily walks, he always carries a camera and is excited bythe beauty he sees all around us. He enjoys sharing his gift of paint-ing with the world.  He also writes a monthly newsletter which is connected to his art and our neighborhood.” As written on his website,“My inspiration comes from the sunlit world in Southern Florida, as well as the crowded side-walks of New York City and the endless variety of Maine. It also comes from dreams. I am not content to simply paint the view, but instead want to bring out mysteries and emotions lurking beneath its realistic surface.”

More of his paintings and his monthly newsletter can be seen on his website (jamesgriffinstudio.com). His work can also be seen at the Dabbert Gallery on Palm Avenue.
