About The Artist James has enjoyed drawing from a young age. He was eventually bought some paper and pencils to stop him from drawing on all the other available surfaces (including the walls!)
James originally wanted to become a vet, but other things seemed to take priority to revising for his A' Levels! So he decided to follow his other passion and study to become an artist, as friends and relatives often asked him to do portraits for them. James spent 4 years at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design studying Natural History Illustration and has been working full time on commissions since 1994. The majority of James's work is gained through 'word of mouth'.
James has a natural rapport with all his subjects and feels that the reason he is recommended to others is his attention to detail, especially the eyes, to which he pays special attention, making detailed colour notes while photographing the subject.
James has frequently undertaken posthumous portraits of animals as well, using the owner’s own photographs.
James is married with a son and has 5 Jack Russells.
