James Summerbell

James’s work is influenced by his appreciation of the varied wildlife and inspiring rural landscapes close to where he now lives in West Wales. As an avid photographer and outdoorsman his passion for exploring the vast coastal and mountainous regions of Wales has also influenced his depictions of its wild inhabitants. James creates his vivid interpretations of nature’s beauty mainly through the medium of oil on canvas.
