Inside Job: Chelsea James

One of the most fun things about traveling the way we do is being able to try on different types of places.  It’s always interesting to me how each place has its own personality, reflected in the town’s homes and buildings.  The look of Seattle and Joshua Tree couldn’t be more different!  Interior obsessive that I am, I couldn’t help but share these lovely paintings by artist Chelsea James.

I first spotted James’ work on the New American Paintings blog a while back and was immediately drawn to her style of painting.  Her use of angles and perspective really draws you into the space of each painting, reminding me greatly of another favorite interior artist, Peri Schwartz.

And of course, I always love any artist who sees the beauty in the ordinary.  Thanks to Chelsea James, I will never again take for granted the loveliness to be found in a sink!
