Rehlin Graphics / Fine Art is presenting a slightly different kind of mini art history post, highlighting our own Jim Rehlin. Although not as famous an artist as his influences — including Van Gogh, Seurat, Cézanne — Jim has developed a significant following over the past few years since turning to the fine art field full time. 

As a child, Jim began creating paintings when his grandmother, also an artist, noticed his talent and gave him a box of oil paints. During grade school, he took extracurricular painting classes at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Institute and then all the available art classes throughout school, culminating with his earning a BFA degree from Wittenberg University. As time allowed, Jim painted, sketched, and sold some of his artwork while pursuing his career as a graphic designer and illustrator. After refocusing his attention in 2014 to creating art on a full-time basis, he has been honored to have his work selected to be in a variety of venues, including in the Ann Arbor Art Center’s downstairs 117 Gallery Shop and in some of their upstairs exhibitions, as well as in a number of other local and state-wide exhibitions. And Jim is fortunate to find success selling his art both locally and nationally.
