James Biggers studied with Richard Schmid and has traveled extensively throughout the western United States, Alaska, Europe, Central America, Hawaii and Mexico. He has participated in juried exhibitions from Connecticut to California, and has been featured in American Artist, Revue Magazine and Southwest Art. Today he lives and paints in Estes Park, Colorado.

"Working from nature as well as from the model in the studio is a very important method of painting for me. Travel not only introduces new subjects, but causes one to look at old subjects in a new and different way. Painting from life is always exciting, always new, seeing something different each time."
