Jimi Beach has been surrounded by nature his whole life. Being raised around the vast wildlife refuges and protected seashores of Central Florida’s East Coast provided the perfect impetus for his life long study of the natural world.

Growing up in such unspoiled surroundings inspired him to develop a personal connection with nature. Much of his early years were spent hiking, hunting, and surfing. At age ten he was already earning awards and recognition for his art depicting images of the natural world.

In his schooling, Beach excelled in art and science, both of which later contributed in developing his nature themed artistic style. He regularly enrolled in extracurricular courses that traveled to outer regions to study indigenous flora and fauna. In his exploration, he researched the art and culture of native civilizations and noted how they created lasting artistic impressions with only what nature provided. In 1988 he founded, and was voted President of the Florida chapter of the National Art Honor Society. Later that same year he won a full scholarship for mechanical engineering, based on his innovative theories of improving hydrodynamics, a two-year study that stemmed from a fascination with ocean waves.

In college he studied photography and Native American art and culture, as well as world science courses such as meteorology and oceanography. In researching his own Native American heritage, he created a series of artwork using only “direct products of nature” such as bone, feathers, soil, fired clay, and natural pigments. For one project, Beach single-handedly constructed a two-story earthen shelter using only natural materials and a hand axe.

Through the early to mid nineties, Beach focused his artistic efforts on music. He discovered that the natural materials he used in art and the rhythms he had studied for years could be combined to form an earthy musical style. He built homemade percussion instruments from natural materials such as bamboo and turtle shells, and formed a four-piece act that toured the country’s major venues for three years. In addition to recording three full-length albums, the band’s music was featured in several film soundtracks.

Promoting the music provided Beach the opportunity to travel to many exotic destinations throughout Central America and the Caribbean. He was incredibly inspired by the various landscapes and waterways that he encountered, but especially moved by the exciting waterfalls that poured out of the tropical rain forests. Upon returning to the States, he set out on a mission to develop a method of controlling falling water within a working system. Over the next two years, he labored over this dream in his studio. Utilizing his knowledge of hydrodynamics and artistic flow, he perfected the design of his interior waterfalls.

In 1998 Beach founded Bluworld of Water to pioneer the concept of exploring water as art. Today, Bluworld is the world’s largest water design studio, and currently has manufacturing and distribution sites throughout the world. The company continues to be the driving force of an emerging trend of using water to decorate the interiors of homes and businesses. Beach has won several design awards for his innovative concepts such as waterfall merchandising fixtures and artistic water sculptures.

Jimi Beach continues to explore the natural world in search of inspiration for his style of natural art. His artistic theory of “Rhythm of Nature” is based on the concept that; as man is connected with nature, he is instinctively attracted to nature’s rhythms and patterns. Therefore, artwork that incorporates and features certain types of natural rhythms is instinctively pleasing and comforting to the human psyche. Everything in nature is perfect.
