Jim Roche
I am a visual artist from Brooklyn, NY, living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia.
I attended the School of the Worcester Art Museum/Clark University in Massachusetts and then the Pratt Institute in New York City. At Clark, I earned my undergraduate degree in fine arts and philosophy. After graduation, I focused on printmaking. My prints are in numerous corporate and private collections. Orion Editions represented me. I now work almost exclusively in documentary and landscape photography.
Artist Statement
My work focuses on landscape as observed in the vernacular experiences we have when encountering pathways people make, structures they build, and the space left behind after something, often a person, structure or activity, is gone. My work is often described as “anti-heroic” or “quiet” photography; I call it “minor landscapes.” These are the landscapes we live with every day that form our personalities, our stories, our politics, and shape who we are.

Available Works
Works are available in limited editions, usually of five images, with artist proofs.
Image sizes depend on the individual work; however, they are generally 60 x 40 inches. (The image size is 60X40, and the paper size would be 66X46.) Occasionally, there are larger prints and pieces of unusual ratios, as well as some smaller images in larger editions. I prefer to sell my works framed, as the final presentation is essential; however, arrangements can be made for the purchaser to have them appropriately framed.
