Therese James Portrait Paintings

Welsh, b. 1959
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.

Falling Leaves, Original Painting

By Libby Ramage

Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Libby Ramage shows a father and daughter being swept away by the beauty of the autumn leaves. "They try to grasp that which is beyond their size," says Libby. A horse gallops forward, representing the fading summer days. She chooses highly saturated colors to enrich the intensity of the moment. "Nature looms large in this artwork."


About the Artist
Libby Ramage infuses a playful and whimsical mood into her works. In fact, she credits the children she works with for greatly influencing her aesthetic. She often uses children’s abandoned work in her collages. Libby currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Rauschenberg. She believes collectors should buy from the heart.
