The scurrying in the hall

James McPhee

I’m a self-taught painter, illustrator, and mixed media artist. My art is introspective at times, whimsical at others, and I frequently experiment with unvconventional methods and media such as sanding paint, stencils, screws & nails, needle & thread, and stucco. I use art to capture stories and messages that I want to communicate but have no words to explain. Where words can feel too specific, visual arts leave the narratives more open to interpretation.

Themes and subject matter differ depending on the media I use. Acrylic and oil paintings are typically abstract figures with psychological and emotional undertones. These reflect something personal in me. For spray paint, I create atmospheric and at times mysterious landscapes using light spray layers that blend unpredictably and merge into hazy impressions in an incidental pointillism. My ink illustrations are finely detailed, macabre, and wry snippets from an untold story.
