Jim McClure

ARTIST'S BIO

Born and raised in the Midwest, Jim found the study of architecture at the University of Tulsa to be the greatest influence on his assemblage art. Jim says his icons are based on tradition from he Byzantine Era and the iconographic art of the 14th and 15th centuries, where a wall~icon was used as a place of refuge from a tumultuous world.

Composed of many different elements: wood, metal, plaster, and acrylics, they are windows with a view of far away places and impersonal deity. The wall-icon is designed to inspire your spirit and to nurture your soul with stillness. A home becomes a sanctuary when it nourishes the spiritual side that dwells within us all.
