Jim Carey

JIm settled in Cornwall in 1982 and now works from The Studio in Falmouth overlooking the sea. He paints the Cornish Coastline and his fascination with landscape painting has recently taken him further afield. Much of the time he is painting outdoors. His paintings portray a strong sense of place and fascination with the natural world and ever changing light, colour and atmospheres of the seasons.
In recent years Jim has been painting the completely different terrain of the French countryside, responding to a warmer more vivid colour and light. A light, which is quite unlike the cold light he knew years before when studying Fine Art in Glasgow. In this work there are more shadows, bluer skies, sometimes brighter, more intense colours reminiscent of an impressionists world. Jim’s work is an ongoing exploration in paint. His landscape paintings are not only a representation of a particular scene but contain an expression of an emotional response to those elements caught in a moment in time.

Jim studied Fine Art at Glasgow School of Art from 1977-1981. It was in Scotland where he first discovered his love of landscape painting.
