Jim White, a second generation wildlife artist, learned his artistic skills at an early age. Instead of carving life-sized birds like his father, Jim preferred to work in miniatures.

Jim’s reputation as a wildlife artist grew along with his abilities and finally a request was made which changed his life forever. The owner of pebble hill plantation Miss Pansy Poe, hired Jim to create pins for her guests to keep as souvenirs of their visit to the plantation; a tradition of most plantation owners.

Miss Pansy also wanted Jim to live and work there in order to perfect his art work. 
After the plantation was opened to the public, Jim was allowed to sell his artwork in the plantation’s gift shop.

Hunting and fishing on this historic plantation was a dream come true. Studying the abundant wildlife in its natural habitat inspired Jim.
Soon he was creating magnificent works of art down to the most minute detail, with plumage and other characteristics burned into the wooden originals.

To bring these replicas to life, they were painted with brilliant acrylic colors As Jim’s work improved, the demand for his work led him to experiment with castings made from the originals to add more strength and durability, and now Jim has perfected his skills and uses a variety of procedures in his work from cold-cast bronze to pewter layered in 24k gold.

A special honor was bestowed on Jim when Sporting Clay’s magazine commissioned him to create the Lifetime Achievement Award for actor and sporting clay's enthusiast Robert Stack

This award, which was presented to Mr. Stack at the Casa de Campo Resort in the Dominican Republic, consisted of twelve game birds representing several conservation organizations. All were mounted on an unusual driftwood stand..   

Jims awards have been featured at many of the most recognized events and have been highlighted at such celebrity events as; The Quail Unlimited Celebrity Hunt, Louise and Irlene Mandrell  charity sporting clays events.

Over the years these awards have been used at the NSCA national championships, many state shoots for sporting clays, trap ,skeet and also the world fitasc, where team USA exchanges belt buckles as gifts to the other teams members from around the world they competed against.
