jim mcgrath gallery and studio

Jim was leaving for the day when we walked up and he invited us inside to take a look anyway. We really loved his work, his feel for light in the paintings is so nice! We wish we had more time that day but it is a must-see artist studio for anyone visiting Wilmington, VT.

Workmanship was excellent, prices were up there!! Their cutting boards were beautiful and within reason of Department stores, but some unusual items were quite expensive.

Jim's studio is filled with his work, a number of which I was tempted to buy. It is my understanding that he is a self taught artist. Obviously Jim has considerable natural talent.

Jim McGrath is one of the hidden gems in Wilmington. His extraordinary talent is modestly displayed in his small gallery on Main Street. The dutch influence on his work is obvious, but they are not too dark - paths through the woods, shadows, trees - all wonderful. I now have three of his works hanging in my home!

Visiting museums and art galleries is a hobby of mine. I was surprised to visit Mr. McGrath's shop and studio. He is continuing to try new things. His artist style ranges from Winslow Homer, to beautiful scenic vistas to the wiped oil pictures of experimental artists in the 60s. Stop by to learn something and to see a truly innovative artist.
