| Your Personal Biography |
Born in Charleston, James Christopher Hill, has gained quite a solid reputation as a regional artist across the southeastern United States. His works capture the various moods of nature and people through the use of color, line and form.
Although a professional artist in the early 90’s, James received formal training at the prestigious Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL. In 1998, he graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Computer Animation; a field that focused mainly on the understanding and discipline of master drawing and painting skills. His senior thesis entitled "Jataka" took home the Gold Oscar in the category of Best Student Computer Animation in 1998 from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 1999, James returned to the fine art and after only a few months working in the art field, his name and reputation as a talented artist has rapidly become known in the low country.
While James is developing a growing number of private collectors, his commercial clientele list includes Roper West Ashley Surgery Center, Cypress Gardens, the Folly Beach Crab Shack, Planet Follywood, and Mellow Mushroom downtown. Planet Follywood has an outdoor mural which is over 750 square feet in size and contains 14 life-size representations of some of Hollywood's most famous celebrities of the 1950's. He has been profiled on Channel Five’s Carolina Camera, the Post and Courier, the Charleston City Paper and the Goose Creek Gazette for whom he led the artists of the Goose Creek Art Guild in the creation of a mural representing the history of Berkeley County. James has won numerous awards in art and computer animation and has lately been invited to display his art in a private show displaying with some of Charleston's and the nation's most prominent artists including Tom Durham, Eva Carter, John Doyle, Charles De Antonio and Manning Williams. James was also awarded the honor of having been chosen as this year's artist for the 2005 Save the Light Run for the Morris Island Light House.
His work continues to explore the use of color and rhythm to create moving images that seek to provoke a particular mood or emotion by invoking a memory that is meaningful to the viewer. His latest works include a study of the massive power inside thunderstorms and lightning strikes including a 6'x10' oil of a storm entitled "Tempest". He has had numerous group and solo shows since 2003 and recently had his first show in New York at the prestigiuos Agora Gallery in The Chelsea District. |
