James Christensen paintings create a rich and strangely familiar world rendered with exquisite skill and detail. This creation was made possible by James' application of his eye for the fantastic to people, landscapes and creatures, both real and imagined. James' aim has always begun with a desire to connect one imagination with another.
The early James Christensen paintings were creations of fantasy images meant for the private amusement of James. As a child, James loved to tell stories and uses his imagination in both his playing and drawing activities. James attended Santa Monica City College, UCLA and Brigham Young University, where he earned a Masters degree.

Their floating appearance in the air reminds people that everything is a possibility. Anything or anybody touched or surrounded by the fishes are considered truly blessed.
