About James

Art by Crim has been growing and evolving for over thirty years and striving for excellence the entire time.

My Little Story

Jim has owned his custom framing shop for over 20 years and his photography studio for over ten. He has never been content in settling for the mundane, boring posters that quickly fade to colorless images. Being a gifted photographer, with camera always in hand, he has refined the presentation of his art. His work lines the hallways of businesses, hospitals, schools and homes. He creates layers of symbolic images: from vintage postcard scenes to local architecture to the most modern interpretations of our veterans.

Jim's ideas are endless and his creativity is unequaled. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Glenville State College in Glenville, West Virginia. He began his career as a sophomore in high school working part time at a local framing shop.

Jim has continued to grow and excel expanding his market from the small town in which he lives to other towns and other states where his reputation has preceded him. Jim has been nationally recognized for his work by the Department of Veteran Affairs, for his work displayed at the VA Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
