James Bentley is a Canadian artist who lives and works
on the small island L'Île-Perrot, just off Montreal, Québec.
He studied and began his career as a freelance illustrator;
a practice which gave him a great love for drawing.
Anchored in figuration, he now works mainly with
acrylic on canvas and acrylic & pastel on paper.
Bentley's current body of work is focused on the ocean,
portraits and figure studies. He is always on the search to paint
in an inventive open manner.
