Barbara James
Barbara James was born and grew up in hamble, where her love of the sea began.

"i've always been drawn to certain visual scenes where mood, light, colour and subject come together to create a unique yet fleetingly familiar moment in time. It could be a few frames from a film, a photograph, a painting or real life - whatever form it takes, the scene has the power to arouse an extraordinarily powerful feeling in me. it's as if one is returning somewhere, to something, always known about but forgotten or never quite seen before in this way, until now".
