overview

James Wilner is a third generation Washingtonian who has devoted the last ten years to painting.

Educated at the University of Pennsylvania, where he received both a Bachelors’ and Masters’ degree in Architecture, James, an award-winning and published architect, has spent 40 years running a successful architecture practice in Bethesda, MD.

James has been drawing his entire life. Largely self-taught, and using the training he received in his design background, he continues to explore new and subtle ways of artistic impression.

Well-established as a figurative artist, James Wilner’s portraits border on the abstract, always pushing the envelope, seeking a way to portray the human expression in a new light.
