James Shulkin
All my life, I have enjoyed the company of smart, confident and
thoughtful women. Some are family, some are close friends. I am who I am because of
them, and my art reflects the qualities that I admire most in these exceptional people —
kindness, beauty, strength, femininity, warmth, resilience, joy, compassion and
hopefulness. My sculptural representations incorporate insulation foam, hand-made
paper, fabric, ribbon, yarn, botanicals, feathers, paint, found objects and more. Each
work features an empowering, inspirational message that celebrates the beauty of
women, nature, love and more.
I am a self-taught artist. My goal with every piece is to create a unique object that brings
you as the viewer and me as the artist, a bit of joy.
