Hillary James has been an artist all her life, and I should know since I'm her mother.  When she was twelve, she asked if she could paint her furniture.  We said, "Sure!" not realizing that later she would turn that penchant into a successful career painting her designs on children's furniture. 

But after 11 rewarding years doing that for clients across the nation, she is now concentrating on her fine art, which you can buy at one of her websites:  Zazzle or Fine Art America
