Yellena James is an artist and illustrator residing in Portland, Oregon. Preferring acrylics and gouaches, she combines complex abstract forms into dazzling images that take on lives of their own. Her colorful arrangements of organic shapes and tangled lines are at once floral and alien, organic and sci-fi. Each intimate world she creates seems to possess its own ethos and its own special ability to radiate emotion. Besides exhibiting her work around the U.S. and overseas, she has done illustrations for Apple, Adobe, Swatch, Moleskine, Relativity Media, La Mer, and many others.
