J. Kim Sessums
SCULPTURE. INSTALLATIONS. MIXED MEDIA. PAINTING. DRAWING / PASTELS
With increasing curiosity and enthusiasm, collectors discover this Brookhaven, Mississippi artist in his custom built studio having the time of his life pursuing his undying love of art in all its forms. It all began at the age of 6. A true modern day Renaissance Man, his projects range from sculpture to painting, architectural to interior design, and even project management for the restoration of historic buildings turned modern works of art.
Andrew Wyeth, the Rev. Billy Graham, Eudora Welty and other famous Americans sat for him as he measured and sculpted their anatomical facial details for their soon-to-be bronzed busts. Between deliveries and clinic patients, (he's also an Ob-Gyn doctor) he's planning his next trip to the local scrap yards to scavenge for interesting shapes and objects that will soon find their way into one of his mixed media sculptural creations. see more work.

"Constant artistic observation allows J. Kim Sessums to experience the varied worlds of the rural south in ways others can not. The natural way he translates their qualities through just about any medium imaginable, he seems to command his works to speak, occasionally sing, or even slap the viewer in the face, making them take a closer look and setting them off on their own journey into self retrospection."
