James A. Morris

Honored Artist 2005


"Turquoise Down" Acrylic on Canvas 48"x48"

The images of James A. Morris (1938- ) emerge from his involvement of over fifty years with photography and absorbing the ethos that inhabits landscapes characteristic of the Western United States. James translates his views of nature and design into "abstract expressionist" fusions of light and color, tempting the mind with paths of serenity, though occasionally leaving the viewer with tentative feelings.

James' efforts owe gratitude to the work of Ansel Adams (1902-1984), Russell Chatham of Montana, Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993), Mark Rothko (1903-1970), and Andrew Shows of New Mexico.
