---About the Artist---
James Wolf grew up in a semi-rural township just outside of Detroit, Michigan. Nature and his fathers industrial commercial art studio, and formal courses at Cranbrook Academy formed his earliest artistic experiences. He closely studied the French Impressionists and Chinese and Japanese painters while at Oakland University, although his sculpting instructor, the renowned European artist, Morris Brose, most acutely influenced his studies. During the late 1970s and early 1980s he traveled throughout Central America, where his time in Honduras and Panama most directly influenced the color, light and representational elements of his work. Soon after his move to Boston in 1982 and throughout the 1980s, he exhibited in various Boston galleries. In 1990 he moved to Cape Cod with his wife and two sons where he opened the James Wolf Gallery in Cotuit 2 years later. In 1994 he founded Cotuit Center for the Arts, an artists work and exhibit space, offering workshops in various 2- and 3- dimensional art media, writing, photography, and computer graphics. In 1995 he was invited to sit on the board of DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) Boston chapter, and to direct and curate their 2 galleries at the Boston Design Center. Cotuit Center for the Arts continues to be his primary art focus, where he is the Artistic Director.
