About James Higgins

James Higgins My interest in art and drawing started very young with inspiration coming from books about dinosaurs. This interest in art led to a career that included a position in an advertising agency when I was nineteen. The year was 1975 and at the tail end of the Mad Men era in advertising. Both of my bosses at the time could easily have been characters from that television series and to this day I am thankful for the opportunity they gave me to get started. Over the next 43 years I worked as a graphic designer, Art Director, ad agency owner, educational publishing and book designer, product designer, and in recent years, founder and partner of a marketing and design studio.

Annual trips to Europe have included England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Vienna, Salzburg, Venice and Prague. But much of my time was spent in southern Bavaria yearly for 12 years, this provided an opportunity to paint 100s of plein air watercolors while on bike excursions into the Bavarian countryside. This activity still remains my most enjoyable and rewarding experience creating art. Most of these small studies have been given away as gifts to family, friends, and several Bavarian farmers, but the few pieces I have left are presented here.

Starting in 2019, semi retirement from the 9 to 5 office grind has allowed me time to dabble in a variety of art endeavors in my home studio. My FAA gallery shows a fairly wide range of art styles and themes, some older and some new. Having been used to the hectic deadlines of the commercial art and advertising arenas, these days I get bored working on an art piece that seems to be taking too long, and I will switch to a totally different theme or style.

For the last few years I have been working with singer musician Jon Anderson, founding member of the British Progressive Rock band Yes. I am designing, editing, and illustrating his ongoing memoirs.

Recently, my favorite activity has been creating colorful abstract and psychedelic illustrations. These are free flowing studies that I only have a slight idea at the outset how it will look finished. Many of these new abstract pieces that are shown on my page have been sold, given away, or traded for an original piece from another artist.
