- Waukee Area Arts Council
Artist: James A. Osborn
"I am an artist. I am also a sailor, and a motorcycle enthusiast. From a young age, I have always been interested in making things with my hands. This talent helped my success working with orthotics as a business owner and corporate executive for many years. I was able to create items that helped people walk by sculpting and molding models, then cutting, forming, and grinding materials. I always paid attention to how things looked for the client because people expect the product to work well, but when it looks good too, that adds value. Today I use the skills I have learned to create paintings and sculptures that “look good”! My goal is to bring forth a pleasing and positive feeling in the viewer, as well as an added value to those who purchase my work."
