Amy James's photographs can only be described as transcendent and natural. She prefers to shoot while illuminating her subjects using only natural light and environments. This practice helps her to capture the sitter as well as the viewer in her lens.

Amy James shoots primarily in black and white, the traditional way, using silver and film. She was trained as a painter but was drawn to the darkroom upon learning it could create as much of a challenge as the empty canvas. James studied at LSU under Michael Crespo and Robert Hausey with Thomas Neff, her photography professor, perhaps being her greatest influence and mentor. James exhibits in many venues throughout the South with permanent exhibits displayed in Ruston, Baton Rouge, Birmingham and Dallas.

Her writings and photography have been published regionally in magazines such as Louisiana Home & Garden, Country Roads and Delta Style, and nationally in Veranda and Ladies Home Journal.

This exhibition is presented alongside the latest works from Audra Kohout, H. E. Roe, and Katherine Scherer. All works from these artists are on view, free of charge, during regular gallery hours (12 - 6 p.m., Tue - Sun) from Jul 2 - Aug 1, 2024.
