About the artist

Recreating on canvas the beauty that is found in nature is exactly what artist Vincent James Fammartino (Jim) tries to capture with every painting he completes. Originally from the Pittsburgh area Jim currently resides in the Phoenix, AZ where he is pursuing his passions of both art and golf.  He tries to achieve a realistic perspective for his viewer and duplicate the allure found on a golf course.  This process demands a great deal of dedication and devotion to a piece which can take up to six months to create.  

In addition to working on art at his home studio, Jim is also a golf instructor in Scottsdale, AZ.  The amazing golf courses and dynamic art scene make the valley the perfect destination for Jim and his girlfriend, Nikki Seiling, who is also an artist displaying her work in Sedona, AZ (see Nikki's work here).   Sitting side by side years ago in a high school art class, Nikki and Jim have always had a common bond, helping each other in the pursuit of their dreams.
