Since 2007, Jim has also traveled to Greenland and Iceland documenting the melting and movement of glaciers, creating an environmentally-sensitive photo essay. Jim also shared his artistic philosophy and strategies for working in series and sustaining a creative thematic investigation, as Archmere's AP students are preparing to launch their very own self-designed, inquiry-driven Advanced Placement Studio Art Sustained Investigation portfolio project.
