James A Osborn

My name is James Osborn. I am an artist. I am also a sailor, and a motorcycle enthusiast. Thank you for visiting my page.
From a young age, I have always been interested in making things with my hands. This talent helped my success working with orthotics as a business owner and corporate executive for many years. I was able to create items that helped people walk by sculpting and molding models, then cutting, forming, and grinding materials. I always paid attention to how things looked for the client because people expect the product to work well, but when it looks good too, that adds value.
Today I use the skills I have learned to create paintings and sculptures that “look good”! My goal is to bring forth a pleasing and positive feeling in the viewer, as well as an added value to those who purchase my work.
I am inspired by the 1960s and 70s, sailors, motorcycles and my family. I currently live in Des Moines, Iowa, to be close to family after spending 20 years in Nashville Tennessee and Austin Texas. I began painting using oils on canvas, with brush or knife, many years ago while studying with a professional artist. I prefer minimalist, modern, abstract and expressionist styles.
