James’s artistic path is anything but conventional. Beginning with body painting and later collaborating with Universal Studios Japan, his fascination with fluid, organic lines naturally evolved into washi lamp art.

His contributions to Japan’s Akari Art Festival have earned multiple awards, with one piece preserved in a museum collection.
