Jim McVicker

Jim McVicker

Jim McVicker is an award-winning still life and landscape oil painter whose work is inspired by the forests, harbors, and weather-beaten towns just south of the Oregon border. He creates compositions that reflect 19th and 20th century traditions. Poet Bill Mohr observes: “No artist masters the unseen, but McVicker’s portrayal of its strength in our existence is reassuring to those who wish to persist in search of hidden meanings, hidden proofs.” Jim’s work has been featured in Art & Antiques, Art of California, American Artist, and Southwest Art magazines, as well as in the book, The Artist and the American Landscape. Jim was commissioned to paint a large mural in the dining room at the San Francisco Civic Center Courthouse. A self-taught artist, Jim was the subject of the 2008 documentary, Jim McVicker: A Way of Seeing. He lives in Loleta, CA, with his wife, artist Theresa Oats.
