CelestialPainter

Jimi Bush, also known as The Celestial Painter has emerged from the vast unknown to become one of the 21st century’s most prolific and colorful artists. Beginning his art career over a decade ago in March of 2008, a life changing experience has helped The Celestial Painter to now create over 1,000 pieces of sheer beauty over this short time.

Born and raised in a small southern Florida town, Jimi’s modest beginnings did not keep him from exploring the world around him. From 1990 to 2019, Jimi has traveled around the United States, in “Search for his Kindred Spirit”. Living in such places as New York City, San Francisco, Denver, Louisville, Kalamazoo, Chattanooga, San Diego, Newton Illinois, Austin Texas, Chicago, and now back home in Lee County Florida. Jimi finds the world to be new, interesting and vibrant. His birth place, Fort Myers, Florida is finally where he found his artistic abilities. After a serious head injury, the creativity within him was awakened in 2008. Like fresh water bubbling from a mountain spring, colors, shapes and ideas began to emerge onto canvas and create themselves with Jimi as the vessel helping them to their life. One by one the dominoes began to fall and The Celestial Painter is now in full bloom.

From “Sorting out Our Differences” to “Blue Sushi”, the ever evolving style of The Celestial Painter has touched the lives of many. Since his first public showing at the historic Holiday Inn Palms in downtown Ft. Myers, The Celestial Painter has provided collectors on seven of the seven continents with colorful decorating bliss created under deep contemplative thought. Antarctica was the final frontier to be conquered. Thank you to the research team from Mississippi for leaving my art behind as a flag planted on that continent.

As Jimi evolves, so does his art. Jimi looks forward to the new challenges that each day brings.

His hero is his 21 year old son Austin James Bush who is one totally awesome country boy and a member of the U.S. Army Reserve.

Thanks and have a celestial day!
