After his recent move from New York, making Sarasota his home, Griffin has immersed himself
in what he calls “our paradise of light and color” and has created a masterful series of Sarasota paintings.
James Griffin was born 1949 in Kitchener, Ontario. Experiencing a culturally diverse childhood while
living in the United States, Peru, England and Brazil, combined with his early expressions of creative
talent, James was primed for a career as an artist. After acquiring a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pratt
Institute in 1972, he was on his way.
During Griffin’s 36-year career as a freelance artist and illustrator he has created over 3,500
illustrations with a concentrated focus on book covers. Recognizing his talent, dedication and
passion, most major publishers including Random House, Harper Collins, Viking Penguin, Berkley
Books, St. Martins Press, Harlequin, Zondervan, Scholastic Books and many others have chosen
James Griffin to bring their books to life.
