Jim Glover - Artist
Jim Glover was influenced by his
father, local artist Jack Glover, from childhood. Early on, Jim got
involved with bird watching; his studies in art and zoology at Kent
State and Ohio State honed his skills as a naturalist and
illustrator before he began his 34-year career with the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources. During that time, Jim designed
State Fair displays, illustrated and designed brochures, booklets
and maps, produced paintings for numerous posters, developed
interpretive nature displays at Old Woman Creek State Nature
Preserve, and served as art director and occasional writer for the
Ohio State Parks magazine.
Since starting the "second half of his life," Jim has become
intrigued with Impressionism. This interest has profoundly
influenced his art, leading Jim to delight in the implying of detail
in his paintings rather than clearly defining every feather or leaf.
Jim says, "I feel like there is life, a part of me, in each painting
now!" Jim is drawn to the beauty of nature, both in the landscape
and its wildlife, in his art. And in watching the early morning
sunlight play across the natural world, his heart is turned back to
the One who created it!
