James Hands
Born 1978 I am a self-taught artist living and working in Bolton, Lancashire. Although I have only been painting since 2002, art has featured in my life for as far back as I can remember. Since then, I have been exploring painting, its effects and capabilities, and developing my technical ability. I enjoy working in oils with subjects ranging from landscape to more abstract work. Depending on the subject matter, I emphasise colour and form to create feeling in my painting. In the short time that I have been painting, I have been very encouraged by the reception my work has received. I am currently exhibiting in the UK and my work is held in numerous private collections across Europe and the U.S.A.
