About the Artist

Jimmy Alston is originally from Louisburg, North Carolina.  He is the youngest son of the late Bishop PJ Alston and Evangelist Katie Alston.He began his art career at the age of six when he completed a class project by drawing a picture of Gandhi.  His teachers realized his potential at a very early age.  Because of his artistic ability, at the age of 15, he was offered an art scholarship to study with the famed “Peanuts” creator, Charles Schultz.  But because of unforeseen circumstances, he declined the offer.

My hobbies include being an accomplished musician, songwriter and composer of inspirational jazz. Also, reading the Bible, singing, watching martial arts and boxing matches, watching The Andy Griffith Show and spending time with my family.
