Irena Annandale-James

Irena Annandale-James is a Polish-Australian, who resided 22 years in Denver, Colorado, USA, where she became an American citizen and gained an Associates Degree (High Honours) in Graphic Design and Pre-Press.

Vibrant colours have always warmed her soul and she endeavours to bring that warmth into her paintings. Many of her artworks have received highly commended awards. She has worked with graphite, charcoal, coloured pencils and pastels. Acrylics are now her medium of choice.   She has branched out from portraits, to include seascapes and the beauty of birds and flora, which she endeavours to capture in her paintings, applying some "artistic license”.  

Irena also has a keen love of photography, and says she is always on the lookout to capture that certain scene.
