About James

I am an artist. I am also a sailor, and a motorcycle enthusiast. Thank you for visiting my page.

From a young age, I have always been interested in making things with my hands. This talent helped my success working with orthotics as a business owner and corporate executive for many years. I was able to create items that helped people walk by sculpting and molding models, then cutting, forming, and grinding materials. I always paid attention to how things looked for the client because people expect the product to work well, but when it looks good too, that adds value.

Today I use the skills I have learned to create paintings and sculptures that “look good”! My goal is to bring forth a pleasing and positive feeling in the viewer, as well as an added value to those who purchase my work. My work can be found in corporate and private collections across North America and Europe.

I am inspired by the 1960s and 70s, sailors, motorcycles and my family. I currently live on a sailboat in the Chesapeake Bay, USA, to be close to family after spending 30 years in Nashville, Tennessee, Austin, Texas, Des Moines, Iowa, and Washington, DC.

 I began painting using oils on canvas, with brush or knife, many years ago while studying with a professional artist. I prefer minimalist, modern, abstract and expressionist style.
