Jim Foster
The Artist:
North of Fort Collins, on a sprawling ranch property nestled against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains is a studio with ceramic works, oil paintings, and copper sculptures. A cat wanders about the concrete building that houses the equipment and supplies needed to make the pieces of art. Paintbrushes, sticks of charcoal, chisels, and other instruments of his trade lay strewn about the industrial building that used to be a calf roping school.​
Since 1973, Jim Foster has made this little piece of northern Colorado landscape the source for his creative works.​
Jim Foster is a sculptor, painter, and steward of the land who specializes in abstracts that communicate his connection with the wide-open spaces of northern Colorado, southern Wyoming, and the plains that stretch to Nebraska. He has also taught, traveled, studied, and worked in distant places across North America and Europe, but the wide-open spaces of Colorado are what draw him home and fuel his inspiration.​
Painting, in particular, is a way for Jim to think in pictures and layers, and then put those images down on canvas with paint. It is a way of thinking and caring and showing your feelings in the painting.
