James Wayne Lewis was born and raised in New Mexico and has always had an appreciation for all types of art.
Living in New Mexico and Sonora, Mexico he has been around diverse cultures for a lifetime. " I love the passion that
these cultures have and share, from the many types of art expressed, music, scuplture, painting, dance."
The artist was primarily self taught until he felt a need for growth
and experimentation. J Wayne has lived on the Sea of Cortez and has always had a passion and respect for the Sea
and its marine life and all natural resoures, as expressed in many of his paintings.
J Wayne's career to become an artist , came after being inspired by his
artistically talented daughter Natasha, a very talented California artist.
