About the Item

Therese James captures a timeless, tender scene in her painting, "A Perfect Moment." The piece transports viewers into a quiet, moonlit night, where the world seems to pause in reverence for a simple, yet profound, moment of connection. At the heart of the composition is a young girl, her figure gracefully illuminated by the soft, silvery light of the moon. She stands in quiet contemplation, accompanied by her loyal dog, who sits faithfully by her side. The bond between them is palpable, a testament to the quiet joys of companionship and the solace found in nature’s embrace.
The scene unfolds beneath a deep, dark blue sky, rich with the inky hues of night. The moon, a beacon in the darkness, casts its glow across the landscape, creating a gentle play of light and shadow. The girl and her dog are the focal points, but James carefully crafts the surrounding elements to enhance the mood. Behind them, a white house emerges from the shadows, its walls softly reflecting the moonlight, suggesting warmth and safety within. This house, though distant and partially obscured, adds a comforting presence, hinting at the idea of home—a place to return to after the walk, a place where memories are made.
Adding to the autumnal atmosphere, a nearby tree stands tall, though it has shed most of its leaves. The remaining foliage, a mix of rich oranges and yellows, lies scattered on the ground, creating a colorful carpet that contrasts beautifully with the dark blues of the sky. The leaves, like the moment itself, seem to capture the fleeting nature of time—each one unique, yet all part of a larger, inevitable cycle.
Rendered in a contemporary naïve style, the painting exudes a sense of innocence and simplicity. James uses bold, uncomplicated lines and a rich, yet restrained, color palette to evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The style invites viewers to connect with the scene on a deeply emotional level, finding beauty in its simplicity and meaning in its quietness.
The artwork, signed by the artist, is ready to be displayed, its impact immediate and lasting. "A Perfect Moment" is more than just a painting—it is a snapshot of a fleeting, beautiful experience, captured forever on canvas. This piece is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and can also be acquired online, offering collectors a chance to bring this serene and touching moment into their own space.
Artist biography:
Therese James has been immersed in the world of painting and exhibition since 1993, carving her path as a self-taught artist guided solely by instinct and intuition. Developing a distinctive style characterized by representative characters inhabiting her vibrant canvases, Therese aligns herself with the Naive School, embracing a philosophy of boundless creativity and unfettered expression. For Therese, each painting is a voyage of discovery, an organic evolution of emotions and ideas. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and literature of her native Wales and the West Country, she imbues her work with a sense of nostalgia and longing, encapsulated by the Welsh concept of ‘Hiraeth’—a profound yearning for home. Selected as ‘Welsh Artist of the Year’ and invited to exhibit at prestigious venues such as ‘The Royal Welsh Show’ and ‘The Eisteddfod’, Therese’s art has garnered recognition both nationally and internationally. Her work can be found in galleries across the UK, as well as in collections spanning America, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. At Signet Contemporary Art Gallery, Therese’s paintings are sourced directly from her studio, ensuring each piece retains its unique authenticity and charm. Embodying the timeless tradition of naive style painting, Therese’s art captivates viewers with its whimsical charm and evocative storytelling.

“Over the many years I have worked, my style has slowly and naturally evolved and through continuously working and experimenting it has become an extension of who I am. I work the paint with my hands until I get to the finer details, I get an instinctive feel for when the consistency is just right and then I go with it. I never know how I am going to get there – I only know I have to and that when the journey is complete, I will know. Each one is a roller coaster of emotions, a pilgrimage to places once visited in my mind and heart. The Welsh word ‘Hiraeth’ is what best describes it for me – it is a deep longing for home, that home is inside me, trying to find this place and transform it into something tangible is what continuously fires me to keep painting. It is these places and paintings that make the connections between Therese’s audience and her paintings.” – Therese James

Therese James
We are pleased to sell works on behalf of Therese James. Therese is a full time artist painting and exhibiting since 1993. As a member of the Naive School she works from a compulsion to recreate what she feels and sees. As a self taught naive she relies purely on an instinctive approach to her art and has developed her own style with expressive characters who inhabit the world of her paintings. Therese gets much of her inspiration from the places and literature of her native Wales and the West Country of England. She says she paints the way she paints because she doesn’t know “the rules” and her paintings are a journey of discovery. More recently she has been inspired to use her painterly skills to create wild and untamed responses to nature, creating semi abstracted, almost primal, sea and landscapes reflecting the raw untrained, instinctive way in which she works. Therese is very well collected with her works in collections in N. America, Europe, Australasia and Asia.
