Jim Fetter

Jim Fetter was born in Munich Germany in 1955. I have been painting in watercolors since 1976, and painted hundreds of portraits for people all over the world.
I have worn many hats in the field of art, like Logo Creation, Magazine Illustration, Product illustration, T-Shirt Design, and Portrait Painting.
In 1995 I illustrated over 200 black and white pen and ink drawings for the Sobriety Training Institute in Portland, Oregon, for a children's drug prevention program that is now used in 25 states to help kids understand what drugs are, and how to avoid them. My work was showcased on the PBS television art auction "America's top 100 artists" in March 2003. " Watercolors to me , is like painting with stained glass" because of the watercolors transparency they I can paint one color over another to change the hue of color just like stained glass.
My paintings are bright, colorful and strong, and that's the way I paint. I want my paintings to reach out and grab you as you walk by, and I think they do, just that.....

My art education is from all over the world in 14 countries and 30 of the United States as my father was in the United States Army and we moved every year. I have credits for 7 years of university training as an Art major, but much of what I really learned was in the field from other artists around the world, so I could express my own style. I have showcased my paintings in galleries from Washington State in the Northwest, to New York on the east coast, and several foreign nations.

I have an exhibition every day on my FaceBbook page for my friends to enjoy....
