Jim Kane
Jim has been a professional firefighter / paramedic with the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department for nearly 30 years, and spends his free time away from the job building, making, designing, creating, repairing, fixing, and sometimes just breaking all types of things, from cars to motorcycles, from furniture to houses. He uses his creative and constructive knowledge as an outlet for the stress inherent in his professional life.
In the past, he has always built or made things specifically for their functionality. It has only been the past five or six years that he started creating purely for artistic value. Jim believes his artwork to be a profoundly personal endeavor, with the primary goal being the cathartic effects it brings to him. It was only recently he discovered others have been moved emotionally by his artwork. This realization has stirred a desire to share his art with others. Thus, bringing him to enter a new phase in his life. With retirement only, a few years off he finds himself beginning a new career. A career that he hopes will bring him the same level of fulfillment as 30 years in the fire service has brought. Jim hopes his artwork can bring the same emotional healing in others as it has for him.
