© art by sejames 2010 Made with Xara Welcome to my new website These few pages are but an example of my new website. You will find examples of my small format art, miniatures ,  and pyrography. My name is Shirley James and live in the High Desert of Yucca Valley, California. I paint the softer side of the desert concentrating on Western subjects and landscapes.  I need only to step out my back door.
