Jimmie Tabor

Tabor grew up in Brazil, Indiana, and attended Indiana State University, studying under department head, Elmer Porter. He was also influenced by local artist Roy Muncie, a talented sign painter who was a great mentor and teacher. Jimmie’s career included 35 years with Sherwin-Williams, working with color blending on a daily basis.

He has worked in several mediums, but has come to love watercolor because of the pleasant surprises as the paints/colors change while drying. His work primarily involves nature (birds, flowers, animals), landscapes, and some portraits.
