James P Garrett

James’ inspiration has been drawn from life experience; he has traveled extensively around the world on land and sea both for pleasure and as a missionary, his more recent mission work experiences in China and Kenya particularly.

James still has a love for his native country and especially the winter season where his pieces of solitary trees are derived.  Many of his recent pieces are focused on birch forests. Birch trees are prized for their outstanding bark characteristics and their graceful delicate foliage.  In the forest the root systems of many birch trees share water and nutrient resources.  They seem to naturally display a sense of unity and teamwork.
