James Short

Born: 1970

Currently residing in Oceanside, CA USA, paper and mixed media artist, James Short, creates vibrant, paper-focused, mixed media artwork fluctuating between minimalist / maximalist abstract expression to inquisitive scenes of surreality. Oftentimes, fusing vivid pops of color with recycled and visibly-aged antique materials, he creates a highly distinctive compositional style full of atmosphere and energy.
