With a focus on multicultural figurative paintings, she also creates vibrant seascapes and landscapes - oftentimes combining both styles in one painting. She uniquely captures the cultural essence and beauty of the world.

SAINT JAMES’ artwork has been described as “ebullient”, “bold”, “she creates paintings that remind one of Matisse cutouts in their clear line and intense color” and “joyful”. “SAINT JAMES’ paintings have a healing power that soothes and comforts our souls.”
