James (Jim) Oberle Having drawn since childhood , Jim is a self taught artist . His art reflects his Cherokee ancestry and his interest in the history of ‘Turtle Island,’ or America as it was named by the Europeans .
Oberle portraits of American Indians both from the past to present contain a reverence of the spirit which extends from the beginning of people on this continent to the present day. His art shows just how they enrich our lives , through their Wisdom, Traditions and Achievements. Jim’s art expresses many of these by including nature and environmental values into many of his pieces. The faces displayed in Jims art captures the strength and enduring character of Native Peoples.
His art is housed in many fine galleries and private collections throughout the United States.
Jim is also a long time Board of Trustees member of The Miami Valley Council For Native Americans.
