Hello!
I'm Catherine James
I'm a botanical watercolor artist based in Redmond, Washington.
I invite you to immerse yourself in my painted gardens. Take a moment to explore how light filters delicately through leaves or shimmers through cascades of flower petals. Let luminous plants and blossoms draw you in with their enchanting details. Relax into the beauty of nature.
​
After a career in graphic design and software illustration, I've exhibited my watercolors in juried shows and galleries for more than 15 years. I use my own beautiful garden as a resource for many of my paintings. I love every opportunity to visit gardens and seek out new and interesting botanical scenes and subjects to paint.
My artwork is in private collections in England, Australia and throughout the United States. I am a Signature Member of the Northwest Watercolor Society.
I hope that my artwork helps you reconnect with the natural world in the spaces where you live and work.
