Jim Shore is a well acclaimed artist. His unmistakable “heartcrafted” style captures the essence of traditional themes and motifs of American and European folk art design by creating new interpretations of our cultural heritage and beloved characters. Taking inspiration from quilting, rosemalling, appliqué and flat perspective folk art, Jim Shore creates the artful, intricate detail, saturated color and innovative elements which make these designs so distinctively special.

His design style can be applied to a huge variety of themes and formats, creating a charming and innovative American country décor statement for the home.

“My work is not a single statement, but a lot of elements mixed together. I use colors that I love – colonial, antiques, jewel tones and some unusual colors that I loved at the moment. Put together it’s a pleasure to look at. It doesn’t really matter what item it’s on. It’s just fun to look at—American Folk-Art.”

Jim is now working to develop a more extensive lifestyle brand, creating functional home décor and fashion accessories using his unmistakable style.
