As a young boy growing up in a small town in Massachusetts, Christopher James would spend much time exploring the ponds and woods that surrounded his home. Here he developed a deep love of nature which can be seen in his paintings of birds, butterflies and foliage. Later he would find himself enjoying the ocean and shoreline along Long Island as well, inspiring for his art of seashells and coastal life.
“Our world is alive with the beauty of nature. If I am able to capture just a hint of this wonderful feeling nature provides, as an artist then I am truly grateful.”
Christopher James studied for a brief time under a world re-known illustrator, then ventured out on his own to find his own path. Since then his talents have extended a wide range of work, from book illustration to mural art, greeting cards and children’s clothing design. He currently lives in the southeast with his family and faithful dog Sophie.
