Jim Woods had a successful career in creative design and advertising for Sainsburys Supermarkets before he turned to painting full-time on retirement. He studied drawing and life drawing under the Royal Acadamician Michael Rooney at the Sutton School of Liberal Arts, and quickly developed a recognizable style which is both linear and loose. When living in London he exhibited annually in the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour show. He holds regular exhibitions of his work locally in the west of England where he now lives and his paintings can be seen in private collections all over the world.
