I am an Artist and Designer living near Bristol, United Kingdom. I work from my art studio, overlooking the city.  My paintings and designs are created with passion from a life-long love of art. My inspiration comes from growing up in the countryside, living near a vibrant and creative city and traveling to Trinidad every year to visit my family in a tropical and bright environment. I love nature, especially the way that natural light can affect every colour and form. I like to paint flowers for this reason, they are so delicate yet so strong visually. After graduating with honors from the University of the West of England, I am continuing to develop as an artist and expanding my business online. This has enabled buyers and collectors to purchase work worldwide. My work can be found for sale on Etsy, Folksy and in my studio shop on my website. www.carlajames.co.uk
