A New York City native from Tribeca, she is born under a long line of artists and has been creating from a very young age. James has already earned her place as a prominent figure among Bushwick’s latest wave of up-and-coming artists. She debuted her work after graduating SVA in 2008, quickly carving out a niche for herself within the bustling local art scene. She was the founder and spearhead of Elgin Gallery and has served as Associate Director at Bushwick’s Life on Mars Gallery. But today James’ career is making art, and her list of achievements continues to grow. Exhibiting her own work full time, she has exhibited in extensive exhibitions both in and out of New York.
