A RTIST FOCUS
Emily James
“I
didn’t decide to become an artist,
I was born an artist,” says Emily
James. “I delight in creating in an
amazing diversity of subjects and styles.”
There are times when James simply
“plays” by using color and texture to
create fanciful abstracts, each one reflec-
tive of her innate joy of life.
“Fortunate to have traveled quite a bit,
I also enjoy painting the sea,” she says.
“It’s a challenge I cherish as I paint the
beauty in different coastal areas, and
each subtle change from moment to
moment. My love of that subject begins
with the exciting challenge of capturingyet another aspect of its fluidity, both
in nature’s constant movement and its
reflective calm. It conveys spirituality to
me and mirrors life in its unfolding and
unexpected joys.”
James’ talent is a gift she was given
and is still spellbound as she watches
an image unfold before her eyes from
a white canvas surface. “I continue to
evolve and delight in this art journey,”
she explains. “My painting is a visual
story of who I am, the world as I see it;
always a beautiful place. Each painting
stirs my imagination for exploring and
capturing a moment, as I share mypersonal vision of the profound beauty
in nature.”
The artist continues, “One of my joys
has been having my own gallery, which
has been so well received in art-loving
Naples, Florida. Visitors can watch me
paint as they enter the gallery, and it has
been a pleasure sharing my collection for
people to enjoy.”Want to See More?
