Jim Bilgere
When I was a teenager I learned to paint from artist, Harold "Napoleon" King, the first black man to paint on Jackson Square in the center of New Orleans. He had a room for me to stay in whenever I would come to see him. He lived on the same block where the guy who invented jazz music lived, so needless to say I’ve been around a lot of music in my life. It’s always been there and I often have liked making paintings that feel like music.
As I’ve become older I’ve heard and played so much music that I like to go to the quiet of nature and listen to the Symphony created by all the creatures that are there and make paintings about the beautiful places I’ve been blessed to experience…
