I am Jim Conroy, a Cincinnati native, retired fire fighter/paramedic. Through my art, I want to create a language of shared experience and understanding. Painting allows me to process how I am feeling at any given moment and hopefully those with different skills can use my art as an outlet as well. I have no formal training, so I trust my instincts along with the love of my favorite works to inspire and guide me. Museums are my church – artists my spiritual leaders.
