Hi, I’m James, friends call me Jart. I am a UI/UX designer by day and a oil painter by night.
I’m based part time in the Okanagan BC and in Charleston SC. Currently I am a designer at IndySoft and a demonstration artist at Colarts reprensenting Winsor & Newton.
You can see my work exhibited at Studio on Water in Kelowna British Columbia.
My paintings and prints are available directly or though SaatchiArt & Inprnt 💙
I love painting 🎨, dogs 🐕, and gaming 🎮 Check out my Resume 📜
Welcome to a world where pixels replace paint to create the soulful narratives of individuals. (Fuck AI Art)
In James' paintings there is a perfected dance between realism and abstraction, a textured indulgence with brush and pigment, that draws the viewer in, often getting lost in hours of brush work and color variety, only to be brought back to the depth of his subjects following eyes
Through my work, I aim to share not only the visual splendor but also the emotional resonance of these landscapes. Inspired by the tradition of plein air painting, I find myself drawn to the untamed beauty of British Columbia. (I go outside and touch grass on occasion 🫳🥦)
Hello! I'm James, a UI/UX designer passionate about crafting seamless digital experiences. I have experience working at two Charleston based companies as a UI/UX designer: Indysoft and Netrist. With a focus on user-centric design, I blend creativity and functionality to bring ideas to life.
Whether the subject steams from his own imagination or reality, James spends time observing their physical features, gestures, and expressions, carefully noting every-detail and nuance. Using oil paints, James aims to bring his observations to life on canvas, layering color, texture, and brushwork to create a dynamic and engaging portrait.
Whether it's an art project, mobile/web app design, graphic design, or tattoo I am ready 🚀
