About J R Root

 
 
  • Biography
    I first started painting again in 2017 whilst trying to escape my depressing desk job and needing to find some creativity. Although I haven't received formal art training, I now paint portraits and commission pieces in a range of sizes, from miniatures to life-size. I'm mostly trying to be honest in my work and focus on drawing out colour and expression.
