Full Bio

“I am humbled and honored to be selected as the 2022 Legacy Artist for the Colorado Governor’s Show.”

Looking at the world with a different eye, James Biggers looks for more than merely seeing the natural beauty of a scene. 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 the viewer that he feels is essential in great art.

While James graduated with a Fine Arts Degree from Central State University in Oklahoma, he credits most of his formal art training from individuals with whom he has studied such as Richard Schmid. He has traveled extensively throughout the United States, Africa, Alaska, Europe, Central America, and Mexico.

While in the process of developing his technical painting skills, Biggers discovered something else essential to art, and impossible to teach. He calls it the “heart of the painting”. “At some point, you have to put something of yourself into your painting, and until you do that, you will never have a great painting.” “Technique is what gets people to walk up to your painting; HEART is what keeps them there.”
