Jim Shore is an American artist inspired by American folk art. His unique designs are world renown for their amazing detail, vibrant colours and emotional, realistic poses. The award winning artist's inspiration comes from a tradition of american folk art from both his parents and was instilled in him from a young age. An avid collector of quilt art, he uses these as inspiration for his work "There's an innocence, a purity in the designs found in early American art, particularly in quilts. These were masterpieces designed by artists driven to create. I collect quilts dating back over 150 years and when I look at the level of skill and creativity I am constantly amazed. It's high art from everyday, often humble surroundings." The Disney traditions are a large part of Jims art and takes real care and pride in his beautiful work.
