Professional artist Jean James realized her love for painting at the age of eight. Now the sole proprietor of JMJArt, Ms. James provides clients with a great variety of artistic services including work in oil, watercolor, and graphite. Her love for art was passed on by her father, a master tailor and painter who encouraged her to study art at museums such as the National Gallery. 

Ms. James attributes her success to being a visual person who enjoys painting and life. Along with her expertise in art, Ms. James is a state registered nurse and midwife and has studied at Birmingham University, Sir Sanford Flemming College and Leamington College for Girls. Looking ahead, she hopes to continue growing as an artist and travel to Spain for a while to further hone her talents. In her spare time, Ms. James supports the people of the Nepal Villages.
