Jim Shore grew up in rural South Carolina, the son of artistic
parents who instilled a love of the traditional values expressed
in American folk art. His grandmother was a master quilter
who taught him an appreciation for the patience and skill
required to bring intricate designs to life. Jim drew inspiration
from these roots. “There’s an innocence and purity to the
quilts, appliques and folk scenery found in the early days of our
country. These were masterpieces that were designed not for
commission, but because the artists were driven to create. I
collect quilts dating back over 150 years and when I look at the
level of skill and creativity I am continually amazed. This is
high art from humble beginnings.”
