OLDER WORKS

Duncan James’s early artwork draws deeply from his personal transformation—shifting from the fast pace of city life to the quiet rhythm of a rural property in the Byron hinterland. Immersed in nature and surrounded by a menagerie of animals that share his space, his work began to reflect a newfound connection to the land, its creatures, and the slower, more intentional pace of country living. These early pieces are rich with warmth, curiosity, and a playful reverence for the natural world that now shapes his everyday life.
