Interview with Terrell James: “Preoccupations”

Terrell James is a highly productive local painter who has been traversing the contemporary art scene here in Houston and abroad for many years. I was able to do an interview with her via email while she was in Miami for the fairs this December. Her new exhibition Preoccupations features a group of works from her ongoing series Field Studies. The “field” James refers to is the studio. She is “studying” the process of painting, as well as the landscape that emanates in the textures of her thoughts and movements.
