James Biggers looks at the world with a different eye. Instead of merely seeing the natural beauty of a scene, Biggers looks for more. He tries to find the emotions that are tied up within a subject and portray those in his paintings. It is through the heart of the painting that he makes the emotional connection with viewer that he feels is essential in great art. Although he graduated with a Fine Arts Degree from Central State University in Oklahoma, Biggers credits most of his formal art training from individuals he has studied with. Bigger's awards are too numerous to list.
