J. SIPE

Sipe is an award winning self-taught artist from New Mexico. When he's not playing bass with the local blues bands, he's working in his converted garage where he creates carved paintings, mixed media pieces and unusual shadow boxes. His work has shown in exhibitions and galleries in New Mexico, Arizona and Washington D.C. and has appeared in Shaman's Drum Magazine, Mind Science Journal, The Collector's Guide and Santa Fean Magazine. His artwork is prized and collected by art lovers in the USA and worldwide. Mixed media on 5.5 x 7 inches on pine board. Recycled aluminum can pieces are used to embellish all these gorgeous paintings. All edges painted and ready to hang.

J.D.'s other passion besides folk art is music. He has been a professional musician for more than 33 years performing in salloons, dancehalls, honky-tonks, roadhuoses and nightclubs throughout the Southwest. He's had the honor of playing with some heavy-weight blues guys like Homesick James, Joe Huston, Buddy Ace and Wild Child Butler.He loves to tell the story about the night that Steve Winwood sat in with his band at the Chicago Bar in Tucson.
j.d. was born in 1951 in the small farming community of New London, Wisconsin but has lived most of his life in the Southwest. The sights and sounds and colors and flavors of the border are the main influence on his art.
