The Project Exhibit BACK TO ITINERANT ARTIST PROJECT | jimmott.com home

The project is inventive and inspiring, but its real depth comes from the quality of Mott's work - his fabulous sense of color, his gestural but articulate brush strokes... His paintings are such a pleasure to look at: as visually and emotionally engaging as the project is conceptually intriguing.

- Susan Dodge Peters, Director of Education, Memorial Art Gallery


The Itinerant Artist Project has generated more than 350 small paintings from around the United States. Most of these are available for display. Portions of the collection, from 12 to 120 of the paintings, have been exhibited in galleries and small museums across the country.

While each painting can stand on its own aesthetic merits the interplay between them, the sense of chronology and progression, and the ideas behind the project help to produce an overall effect greater than the sum of its parts. The response from viewers has been generally enthusiastic.

The artwork from the Project makes a visually gratifying and thought-provoking exhibit, available by arrangement to institutional galleries and museums. Several short essays explaining the project, the ideas behind it, and the logistics of being a 21st-century itinerant painter are available as wall text (two of these essays are reproduced on this website). I am usually available to give presentations about the project, workshops, or to work as artist in residence in coordination with exhibits.
