About the artist: Jimmy Reagan lives in St. Paul, MN with his family and has been creating art since 2009. As you can see from the art, Reagan has a passion for color, texture, and the simplicity of an image. His work is expressive and inventive while innocent and sophisticated. The sumptuous, unexpected array of color in Reagan's work, suggests the artist's relationship to synesthesia. Bright, electric color infuses his images as do short lines he defines as 'tick marks.' Reagan's favorite subjects are portraits – both people and animals. The subjects of Reagan’s portraiture often depict a clear, sometimes striking, direct gaze. Eye contact is an interesting and recurring theme. Diagnosed with complex autism at age 2 1/2, Reagan's work offers him a means to illustrate his perspective of the world.
