Jim Bob Swafford

Jim Bob Swafford studied art at Lubbock Christian University and Abilene Christian University and graduated with a BA degree with a major in art. After a successful career in business and extensive travel, Swafford became aware of the individual art styles of each area of the country and how they were influenced by climate, quality of light, attitudes, and lifestyles. He has absorbed into his style elements of what he sees as unique to the south and west of the country. Over time, Swafford’s style has moved towards stronger use of color and an emphasis on the essence of his subject matter. The artist paints southwest, landscapes, western lifestyle, cowboy life, seascapes, wildlife, and flowers. The art of poetry is another love of Jim Bob’s creative spirit.
