About the Artists:
Jimmy Shields is a full-time artist, whether it be on the stage or behind the table. The arts have been a driving force in his life since he began his training at age 8. Jimmy's love for performing has taken him all over the US via theater, music videos, and national television. Locally, you might have seen some of his work at Village Theatre, The 5th Avenue Theatre and the Seattle Repertory Theatre.
