ARTIST INFO
Jimmy Pringle is a self taught artist from the Margaret river region working predominantly with acrylic and aerosol, and also works commercially on branding projects and mural commissions. He learned to draw as a kid, copying his favourite skate decks, and always found street art really inspiring. As a result, these influences can be clearly seen in his art style.
Lately, Pringle focuses more on portraying nature in his work, hoping to convey the sense of appreciation and connection he feels from his roots in the South West.
