Artist Statement
My watercolors focus on the staggering beauty of the PNW. I’m struck by the complexity that exists in nature and challenged to create my own version of it.
I use traditional methods, drawing and painting and software, (Adobe Capture) in my process, blending all for the final effect.
As an avid fan and trip reporter on the Washington Trails Association (wta.org), every adventure brings me a new source of inspiration for my art.

I’m on the City of Redmond’s Arts & Culture Commission, excited to be working and planning for the city I’ve lived in for 24 years!

BIO
James is an artist and a computer programmer who moved to Washington to pursue opportunities in the tech industry. He spent most of his career testing graphic applications and APIs, creating thousands of unique digital test images and patterns. Through this process, he realized, as complex as computer graphics can be, simple ideas can create very compelling images.
Artist Statement
My prints are the result of combining color, math and code to create stunning visual patterns. I use color palettes and mathematical formulas as the basis for generating complex and colorful images. My work explores the artistic potential of technology and the beauty of mathematics through the specificity of code and the accuracy of a printer.
