Carol James moved to Salt Spring in 2007. In 2009 she was one of the founding members of the Salt Spring Gallery of Art.

After retiring from a nursing career, Carol was able to pursue her passionate career as an artist. Her first showing was at Syncrude’s “NextFest Art Show “ for new artists. Following this, she showed her work in Westlock’s community art shows, Harcourt House, Edmonton. She participated in Edmonton’s 2006 Artwork, a renowned yearly festival of the arts.

''The ideas behind my work vary with a vision for a surface, image, and/or thought. I experiment with glazes, wax finishes and mixed media. When I do something with metal, the metal has to be an important part of the composition. For example, the sheen of the metal plays well with images of ships giving the desired feel of movement on water.

I like to add mystery and fun in a piece which gives the viewer pause to look again and again and to make the art their own."
