Jim Perry began his career as a sculptor in the early 1970's in New York City, and in 1975 was included in the Whitney Biennial. He received his BA in Sculpture from Bard College where he studied with sculptor Jake Grossberg and painters Murray Reich and Jim Sullivan. He works with mahogany using small angular cuts of wood that when layered, create large, dynamic, abstract sculptures; totems, spiraled and flowing pieces. Jim Perry's work has been exhibited extensively over the past 45+ years and is held in many private and corporate collections.

“I am fascinated by forms that are both mathematical, like parabolas or spirals, and that also appear in nature, like waves or flight trajectories. In my sculpture, I take the basic principles inherent in these forms and interpret and play with them, allowing each piece to evolve in an intuitive way.”
