As an award-winning self-taught artist, Jim Graf combines his passion for ships and interest in history by painting detailed historical and contemporary marine scenes. Graf graduated from SUNY Maritime College with a B.E. in Naval Architecture and also holds a USCG Merchant Marine Engineering license. Now retired after a long career with the American Bureau of Shipping, a global not-for-profit marine safety organization, he has the time to focus on his painting full-time. Join the artist for a reception where Graf will take patrons on a guided tour of his artwork, currently on display in the Adler Gallery.
