James Piskoti Obituary

Jim Piskoti spent most of his life creating or teaching art. Jim was born in Logan, West Virginia and moved to Flint, Michigan at the age of 12 years old. After attending the University of Michigan and Yale University, Jim taught at California State University Stanislaus. In retirement Jim applied new technologies to his unique kinetic paintings, and his constant desire to create new artwork remained part of daily ritual until his final days.

Jim is survived by his wife Carol. The couple spent more than 50 years together and they traveled throughout the world and built a home in the Pocket Area of Sacramento where they have resided since 1985.

Funeral Services will be held at East Lawn Memorial Park, 4300 Folsom Boulevard Sacramento, CA with a viewing on Monday, October 27, 2025 from 3 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. and a funeral service on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.
