In his Folk Art Angels and Devils series, Jim playfully reimagines these familiar figures with humor, warmth, and a touch of mischief. Stepping away from traditional solemn or moralizing portrayals, he presents angels and devils as lively, approachable characters—each infused with personality and joy.
     Rendered in a folk art style that favors color, movement, and expressive simplicity, these figures inhabit a vibrant world where the sacred and the mischievous comfortably coexist. Angels radiate lightness without stiffness, while devils charm without menace, allowing both to feel less like symbols and more like spirited companions within Jim’s broader artistic landscape.
     By softening mythic boundaries, the series invites viewers to engage with these archetypes through play rather than judgment. Angels and devils become part of a shared human story—one where humor, imagination, and curiosity take precedence over doctrine or fear.
     Together, the works celebrate the freedom of folk art to reinterpret tradition, reminding us that even timeless figures can still surprise, delight, and dance a little.
