From experimenting with creating art in unusual places, such as underwater, on mountains, while snowboarding, and on the beach, there is nothing, or any place, that will keep the insanely talented artist James Trend from doing what he loves. Get to know James Trend Designs LLC. With over 18 years of dedicated work creating, James Trend is a professional fine artist whose main business comes from his paintings. He also does various other work, such as personal commissions, murals, commercial art, and digital art.
Residing out of South Florida, Boca Raton, originally from Westchester, New York, James has built his love and passion into a full-time career. He has the freedom to create what he wants when he wants from the luxury of anywhere. James has gone against the doubts of people telling him he wouldn’t be able to make a career out of painting. James Trend Designs LLC is a thriving company of 5 very talented individuals that does a multitude of different work within the fine arts industry, from selling original art commissions to individuals, to business murals, to custom clothing, art leasing, and much more.
This September 2022, James is hosting his first solo art exhibition in Delray Beach, where he will be releasing his new Fine Art series titled “The Floral Collection.” At the same event, he will be releasing his new NFT collection. James is excited to share his work with the public and bring his dreams to reality. He affirms his recent successes are due to his statement, “I believe it takes a high level of perseverance, determination, self-awareness, strong work ethic, kindness, selflessness, and most importantly, an unwavering belief that you deserve the success that you crave.”
James wasn’t always doing art full-time. It took him a while to commit to it as teachers and people close to him constantly told him for the longest time growing up that he could never make a living or any real money being a canvas artist. It took him almost 18 years to ignore those doubts, trust his gut, and follow his dreams. He says that surrounding yourself with the right people is so important. He also mentions, “If you have an idea that you truly think is a good idea, never give up on it. The only person that will stop you from achieving everything you want is you.” He thanks his Dad for being his biggest inspiration. He is the hardest worker he knows, and showed him that he could achieve anything if he committed and worked hard.
There is a lot to be excited about for the young talented artist. Over the next couple of years, James expects to have his own art galleries in Delray Beach, other parts of Florida, Vail, Colorado, and other places around the country. His art business will be above a $5 million valuation, while he also continues to build his multi-million real estate portfolio with 25+ rentals.
