About the Artist

Jim Rahn grew up in Haddonfield, N.J. He now makes his home in Seaford, DE.
with his wife Michelle.
His interest in art started at an early age, always knowing he wanted to become an
artist. He majored in art in high school, going on to study illustration at Pratt
Institute, in Brooklyn, N.Y.
A representational artist working mainly in watercolors, Jim has an illustrative
style using both image & feeling to convey his messages in his paintings. Attracted
to strong design and light patterns, he works from sketches & photographs taken
in the field, and completes the painting back in the studio.

Jim has been juried into many group exhibitions, receiving numerous awards and
is involved in area art organizations.
