Ralph Grady James artist statement: Painting is a passion for me. To go for a week or two without touching a brush is extremely difficult. It's as if I need painting to communicate with the world — and especially to reflect what is within myself, which gives me a satisfaction that is hard to obtain otherwise.
My desire is to record the beauty of God's creation in my paintings. I want to show to others what I see: the majesty, the awe-inspiring beauty of creation and, vicariously, the One who created it. I want the viewer of my art to become a participant in the scene: to smell, to feel, to remember.
