Claerwen James (born 1970) is a British painter.She specialises in portraiture, particularly of young people, painted from photographs rather than live sittings. "I am a long way away from my childhood now", she has said, "but a lot of children are not that happy and I didn't like being a child much either." She sees the early years of life as "an uncomfortable state, not knowing who you are yet, and not being able to articulate things or have any power".James has been represented by the Flowers Central Gallery since 2006 with solo shows in London in 2006, 2008, and 2013. She had her debut at Flowers, New York in 2010. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Scheringa Museum of Realist Art in Spanbroek, in the Netherlands, and the University of Cambridge.
