James Christopher Hill's skyscapes are inspired by the wondrous skies of this beautiful planet and various exotic locations, his love of the environment and a personal response to the events of September 11, 2001. All of these serve to bring forth a feeling of awe, mystery and appreciation for the fragile beauty of nature, and a love for our innate ability to respond in kind. The sky is Hill's infinite canvas, the backdrop upon which he captures the drama of clouds limned in sunlight or lightning stretching between earth and sky. Air, light and water is Hill's subjects, and there's a transcendent quality to these almost fantastical portraits of nature. It is Hill's sensitive brushwork, combined with his obvious deep respect for nature, which makes each of these pieces an original drama in its own right.

Through these vivid homages to nature's grandeur, James Christopher Hill brings to us the invaluable lesson that to cherish life, one must first cherish the imagination and its infinite capacities.
