JAMES LYLE

Based in Bathurst, in the Central West of New South Wales, James is passionate about painting and its unique ability to convey the wonder of colour like no other medium. His bold alla prima method of application distils with immediacy what is most vital and potent.

James studied painting at the Nepean Arts and Design Centre in Kingswood and later graduated from the painting program at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, having received scholarships from both the Australian Decorative Fine Arts Society and Ars Musica Australis.

Often described as a ‘painter’s painter’, James sold his graduation show piece to renowned Welsh street-artist Charles Uzzell Edwards (aka Pure Evil).

Having painted and exhibited regularly throughout the Central West, Hawkesbury and Sydney, James has enjoyed teaching his experience of painting for more than a decade now.
