This collection responds to the dynamic Cornish coast, which has inspired James’ work for more than 25 years. From surging winter oceans to the glittering stillness of the coastline in spring, his work takes in stunning locations from Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula to Newquay’s idyllic Polly Joke, and the beaches and coves around Padstow and Port Isaac.
James has been a full member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists since 2002 and his work has received numerous awards. He exhibits regularly at the Federation of British Artists and his paintings are held in private and corporate collections around the world.
