Verity James is a painter who communicates a sense of solitude within a place. Currently based in the Scottish Borders, she draws from sketchbooks filled during walks and travels, translating immediate observations into evocative paintings that explore themes of finding comfort in a space, often rural, sometimes urban or domestic.
