I am an attorney on sabbatical (hopefully permanently) from practicing law to pursue my true passion as a contemporary figurative and abstract artist. I have been painting many years. My art has been exhibited in galleries across the United States. My formal education includes a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas at Austin and a Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist University. I reside in Dallas, Texas in my mid-century ranch, I affectionately refer to as the "Atomic Ranch". More images of my paintings, exhibitions,credits, artist statement may be found at www.jimlivelyart.com
