Jim Haller is a Pen & Ink Artist and Art Educator. While in college, he was diagnosed with a degenerative health condition, which profoundly influenced both his life and his artwork. Originally focused on acrylic paintings and enjoying the creation of landscapes and skies, his work gradually began to reflect his personal experiences, thoughts, and challenges.

Haller seeks to balance dark concepts with visually appealing imagery. His work often features motifs such as medication, anatomy, hospitals, and nurses, aiming to convey the insecurities, fears, and anxieties associated with his health struggles.

He primarily works in ink, employing a stippling technique—creating images through repeated dots—a meditative and therapeutic process reminiscent of mandalas found in various cultures. His overarching goal is to transform his struggles and negative experiences into inspiring works of art.
