Mark James

I have been passionate about art since I was a young boy of 5 or 6. I had my first exhibition when I was 6 years old in my house, I invited friends and family to come along.
As I grew older and started work and have a family my art took a break. Then I had the misfortune to have a serious road accident, I could not work so I decided to go into education.

Art has always been my first love, so off I went to college. It was there I was advised to go to university. So at the age of 37 I went into full time education, where I stayed for 6 years. They couldn't get rid of me, I enjoyed it so much. I was just sorry I didn't do it when I was younger, at this time I decided to go into voluntary work teaching art and encouraging young people to go into further education. I now hold a BA in fine art an MA in Creative Multimedia, a degree in film making, and an award from the university for life long learning.

I have exhibited in summer shows throughout the UK and local art groups and currently exhibiting work at the Station in Richmond.
My artwork is kept at a realistic price so there is always affordable artwork to purchase.
I hope you enjoy looking at my work, thank you
