DESCRIPTION:Jim Lasher.\n\n \n\nI’ve been interested in mythology and rel
 igion for as long as I can recall. Early on I was fascinated by the Greek 
 and Roman stories as well as those of the Judeo-Christian cosmology. In ad
 dition to the written word\, I was drawn to the imagery I discovered initi
 ally in my mom’s art history books. During undergrad school I studied ab
 road in Rome where I saw firsthand thousands of years of evolving iconogra
 phy and loved how it wove together to form the fabric of Western civilizat
 ion. Later when I moved to Northern Japan\, I became interested the storie
 s and imagery of the East. I stumbled upon the writings of Lafcadio Hearn 
 and later I found the art and writings of Toriyama Sekien\, Hokusai\, Utag
 awa Kuniyoshi and Mizuki Shigeru. Through these sources I was introduced t
 o yokai (preternatural creatures/beings) and bake-mono (things that change
 ) and have since drawn/painted my interpretations hundreds of times of whi
 ch the pieces shown here are a small selection.\n\n \n\nI have an M.F.A. i
 n painting from Towson and a B.F.A.\, also in painting from Tyler School o
 f Art. Currently I work on campus running Design + Graphic Services and mo
 re recently teaching in MCOM.
