James HayesArtist’s Statement
I try to paint with a sense of grounded humility, taking in deeply and respectfully the mysteries that stand before me. While hiking in the forest, I attempt to capture in my work, a conversation between light and darkness, while holding both in balance, their fragility and delicateness. It is in this attempt at balance that I curiously look for nature’s best kept secrets. This then becomes a journey calling me forward! I have painted for many years from this perspective, while I still find myself standing and feeling very small at the feet of creation. My paintings have found homes in many parts of the world, hanging in private and corporate collections. I live with my wife and two dogs in a beautiful and quaint village in the Shuswap, Sorrento, B.C. I am surrounded and blessed by its inspiration at every turn.
