After a trip to Greece, Emily James began painting architectural pieces inspired by her sketches and photographs made while touring that country. These watercolors are subtly shaded, intricately detailed and offset with a refined marbleizing technique. James began drawing at an early age; in fact, her earliest childhood memory is searching for more paper on which to draw. By the time she finished high school, she had won first place in many state-wide competitions in her native Florida. After receiving her degree, she moved to Atlanta, teaching watercolor technique and working with individual clients and corporations, creating for specific collections and becoming one of Atlanta’s premier artists.

An extremely versatile and talented artist, her work includes seascapes, landscapes, florals, and abstracts as well as in oil, acrylic and watercolor, utilizing a medium appropriate to her subject matter. James has had numerous one-woman shows including one which sold out before the show officially opened. Honors include five Best-In-Show awards, selection to exhibit in the Watercolor Show at the High Museum in Atlanta, selection as the Outstanding Young Woman in America in Arts and, most recently, the Suncoast Watercolor Society Award for 1993. Living and working in her seaside studio in Ft. Myers Beach, FL, James actively supports the AIDS Foundation and American Cancer Society. Aware and grateful for her artistic skill, the artist works every day, fondly quoting John Lubbock: “As the sun colors the flowers, so does art color life.”

Her works are included in the collections of numerous private and corporate collections, including Sheraton Hotels, IBM, RJR/Nabisco, Contel, Bell South, Crown-Pacific in Hong Kong, Hull University, Great Britain and Hellas Communications, Athens, Greece.
