Landscapes of Tasmania

Welcome to my website! I am an award winning professional artist working out of my studio in Kingston, Southern Tasmania. I specialise in linocut landscapes in oil, with a style that is realistic but slightly abstracted.

Living in Tasmania I am surrounded by ample inspiration for my work, including stunning coastlines, rural landscapes, and wild national parks.

I love the distinctive blend of crisp edges and tonal gradients achievable with linocuts, as well as the technical challenge of building an image with multiple layers of transparent colour.

Reduction linocut editions are always limited, because more of the block is carved away for each layer.

Please enjoy exploring my website to see my work, and find out more about this unique art form.

“James really manages to capture the ephemeral, light essence of vast spaces of air and the slow rolling of bodies of water. It’s quite entrancing, because the medium presents these visions in a subtly different manner to something like painting or photography, whilst hovering between both and not really being either..”

“In the work by Sally James we have a perfect example of someone who sees with their brain…overtime! Not only does she observe and respond in a unique way but amazingly is capable of sharing the way she sees by creating artworks with incredible technical skill. I think the detail in a leafy tree or flowing water …her actual perception of these elements is remarkable.”

“This striking picture immediately caught my eye, such a beautiful and effective mix of visual techniques. I so admire the patience and care it must take to do linocuts!”
