James Roberts

James Roberts' studio is in the Cambrian Mountains of Wales.

His work is an expression of the wildness that surrounds us, sometimes imperceptible, sometimes miraculous, always a process of transformation. Birds and mammals are the main focus, their movements the epitome of wildness.

The work is done on paper using a wet process with ink and salt which allows for maximum simplicity and spontaneity.

The artist has travelled to coasts, mountains, rainforests, reefs, rivers and wetlands in pursuit of his work.  His process involves sketching, photographing, filming and writing but mostly, silently watching and listening.
