Jim Hughes hasn't added a story.
Hello! I am Jim Hughes and I am a artprenuer. I am working on
becoming a full-time artist.
THE BEGINNINGS:
From an early age I have enjoyed art, drawing race cars and
cartoons in grade school, excelling in art classes in high school
and advancing to studying art in college. I graduated from the
University of Kansas with a BFA in Visual Communication, learning
about what it is to be a Graphic Designer and using my talent to
hone my design eye and skills in order to have a career as a Graphic
Designer.
THE LEAD UP:
I spent 18 years in the corporate world doing design,
marketing and web development but not doing as much design as I had
initially thought I would be doing. I kept alive my passion for art
by occasionally painting and doing freelance design jobs. And then
COVID-19 hit and I was furloughed and eventually laid off because of
the pandemic. Since then, I have used this recent circumstance as a
blessing and an opportunity and have been painting again and doing
freelance design projects and other art projects, revitalizing my
love and my passion for design.
THE PROJECT:
In order to continue to create new and original abstract
paintings and work towards being a full-time artist I am looking for
funding to be able to create and paint over the next 6 months in
order to grow as a full-time artist and an artprenuer.
Over the next 6 months I will be working on creating as many abstract acrylic on canvas paintings as possible in order to have an expansive inventory in order to sell online, at art festivals and shows. I also plan on taking some of the more popular paintings and turning them into limited edition prints.
