about janet james

I am a contemporary and visionary artist.  A native of Boston, I currently reside in North Palm Beach, Florida. Throughout my life my art has gone through many phases, including oil, pen and ink, pastels, charcoal, pencil, watercolor, and acrylic paints.

When my journey as an artist began, I mainly created artwork with an objective
reality.  Seeking to expand my creativity, I began working spontaneously from within and by using a free-form application of paint, leaving myself open to whatever flows through my consciousness.  I also set intentions, such as peace, love and joy in whatever form it manifests.  My artwork is expressionistic and abstract.

My artwork has been exhibited in numerous shows, and has received many awards throughout my 50-year career.  I've been a featured artist on the Artists Profile and Boston's Best cable TV shows in Massachusetts.  

I am currently a member of the Lighthouse Art Center in Tequesta, Florida, the Norton Art Museum in West Palm Beach, Florida, and the Brevard Cultural Alliance in Melbourne, Florida.  Previously, I was a member of the Cambridge Art Association, Newburyport Art Association, and the Abstract Artists Group of New England in Massachusetts.

I hope you enjoy my artwork, and find it contemplative and uplifting.
