James Paterson
James' work has won numerous awards and received mainstream media
coverage. Large signature pieces have been commissioned for some of
the world's most renown children's hospitals and private collectors. His wire sculptures have been found at top exhibitions in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia.
"I hope that people who see my art will come away with an infusion of joy and delight. That they will be reminded there are mysteries in life worth probing, inner journeys of discovery worth taking and deep resonant rhythms sounding around us that we must listen carefully for if we are to hear them and be awakened to the redemptive nature of God in creation."
"I want people who see my art to reclaim a simple sense of wonder."
James Paterson
