About harmony james

Experience

I have been working as an artist all my life. My work is an expression of my experiences in this realm and painting is an oasis that not only nourishes but allows me to release, renew, and evolve. It's life-giving. It's truly alchemy.

Style

My work is influenced by the vibrant colors and textures of everywhere, as well as the emotions and experiences that we all share. I strive to create pieces that are both visually stunning and emotionally impactful. Meaning is important and in most of my paintings you'll find the look of layers, of mess ups and paint overs, etc. This aspect of my style is fundamental to the way I experience myself and everything around me. We are all so full of life and we are layered by time and experience which creates a breathtaking depth that to omit from my expressions would be cruel. It is the richness of our depths that give us the meaning we carry out into the world around us to love with and live with, siempre.

Process

I begin each piece with a vision in mind, but allow the materials and my instincts to guide me as I work. I believe that the process of creating art should be just as fulfilling as the finished piece. The messier the better.

My Background

My Background

When I was little, my favorite, most playful time was creating art with my family. This love never faded and now illuminates every moment of my life with a fire for every experience and 'a freedom that both dazzles and dizzies me'. It's all over my heart and I hope you love its expression as much as I do..
