Jim Pescott

Hello, thank-you for stopping by to visit.

Over the years I have been know a 'The Dot Painter'. This is because my painting style is a based on an approach to pointillism using from 10 to 15 layers of dots. This is a self-taught painting style dating back to when I left the corporate world in 1996 to follow my passion. I live and create in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where I enjoy the landscapes of the prairies, the Foothills and the Rocky Mountains.

My artwork has been exhibited in Paris, Florence, Cannes, New York City, Rio de Janeiro, Cincinnati and Monaco. This includes six times at the annual juried Salon held by the historic Société National des Beaux-Artes (SNBA) at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France. ArtTour International Magazine has recognized be as a 'Master Pointillist' by ArtTour International Magazine. The national Académie Arts-Sciences-Lettres in France presented Jim a Silver Medal in 2021 for his paintings.

Artist Statement:

“I paint landscapes because landscapes touch everyone.

Nature really is everything: all the animals, the landforms and especially the trees that reach up into the sky and spread deeply into the ground. For me, trees have been my friends since I was first able to wander through the woods to meet them. I love how sunlight dances in the woods. Trees do so much for us and ask for nothing in return. In the woods, there is endless harmony to explore.

My pointillist style, layers of dots, allows me to explore all this and relate to how everything around us is connected.”
