James Joel Holmes creates artworks that attempt to depict the interconnectedness of all living and mechanical things.
Born in 1974, James grew up on a small farm in Vernal, Utah where he used to build clubhouses, play in large open fields and abandoned barns, and go foraging for wild asparagus with grandma.
His family moved to Salt Lake City when he was about 10 years old, where he lives now.
He spent many years working in print shops and eventually found his way into graphic design, audio/video production, photography, and animation.
In recent years James rediscovered a core passion for painting and drawing in a variety of styles. He’s been painting obsessively ever since.
Though I have been creating art in one form or another for most of my life, I have devoted recent years to creating, developing and promoting my visual artwork. I work with pen & ink, oil, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media and collage. I have participated in many solo and group artshows around the valley. I have solid relationships with several galleries in the Salt Lake City area. I sell originals, prints, postcards and t-shirts at festivals, boutiques, shows and online.
