Jim Keller is not just another man from Richmond - he is a man who creates. During his 42 years working as a civil engineer he made blueprints for designs and calculated precise measurements, making sure the product was the exact outcome the idea foretold. Now he creates works of art, forming them as his hand and mind lead, never knowing exactly what the outcome will be – sculptural work that landed him a spot among 400 other artists at the Bayou City Art Festival two years in a row.
Though it started out as a hobby and a side job in carpentry, Keller’s love of crafting wood has evolved into a new art form. “Through my lifelong love of wood I have evolved from a carpenter, to a cabinet maker, to a wood turner and finally to a sculptor,” Keller shared. As a sculptor he takes pieces of wood from nature and changes them into works of art – better known as a woodturner.
