Mermaid Arts - James C. Farley
Born and raised in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, Jim has studied the character, qualities and uses of various species of wood his entire life. Jim has taught high school math, been a textile weaver, explored maritime claims as a private investigator and practiced law for 25 years. He has focused on working wood for the last seven years. Jim uses a variety of local and exotic woods to shape/create puzzles, words and phrases, clock-bases, candle-holders and boxes. Jim prefers working with wood, rather than clients, because shaped wood is generally more attractive than clients and is usually content to be exactly what it is, and the process of learning and shaping wood is endlessly satisfying.
