James M. Sulkowski was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1951. He studied for two years at the Pennsylvania Academy of fine Arts in Philadelphia, Carnegie Mellon University and most notably at The Art Students League of New York with master painter, Frank Mason. It was during his five years of study with Mr. Mason that Sulkowski learned the concepts and techniques of the great masters. Mr. Sulkowski's work combines a philosophy and science along with his art. His subject matter is nature. In his landscapes, still lifes, portraits and murals, he attempts to reveal the universal and the beautiful elements found in the world around us. To him, this is change enough. Like the Masters, he believes that capturing the inner essence of his subject is as important as painting the eternal mask. Whistler said, "the palette is your instrument, the colors are the notes and on it you play your symphonies."
