The Jim Show, A Tribute to Artist and Friend


It was with much gratitude that I was asked to be a part of a special
Art Exhibition honoring a local artist and 
friend who died last summer.

This weekend the home of artist Jim Julin who died suddenly last year
 after a short illness was filled to the brim with artists and their artwork
celebrating Jim's life as an artist, craftsmen and friend.

I created the drawing and poem 'A Giant Fell Today' just a few days after Jim died last year as a way to express what I was feeling at the time. When I learned of the 'Jim Show' being put together in his memory this summer, I knew that this is what I was to contribute.


The pieces were placed in a shadow box and pinned
bulletin board style as a tribute to a man with a generous spirit.

Several pieces of Jim's work were included.


 Every piece in the show was created with Jim's creative spirit in mind.




A gathering of friends,
and love,
and art.
