Past Featured Artist
“My first grade teacher recognized my interest in drawing and alerted my mother to the potential I had to become an artist,” notes James.
Now 50 years into a career as an artist, he still has a passion for the creative process and enjoys sharing it with others.
“I’m inspired by the enjoyment of the creative process in capturing significant moments from life and nature, that impacts viewers and art enthusiasts in emotionally stimulating ways.”
His work is created with the use of acrylic paints and palette knives to generate textured surfaces and vibrant colors that enhance the subject matter and the aesthetic appeal to viewers.
