Northville Artist Makes New York City Debut

Life-long Northville resident James Ritchie has always had an interest in art and photography, but it wasn't until retirement that he was able to devote himself to serious artistic endeavors. Since then he has taken an autodidactic path from snapshooting to fine art photography. His award-winning work, which is exhibited regionally and nationally, is enjoyed by an international audience and is owned in a growing number of private, corporate, and commercial collections.

This year his recognition has expanded to the Big Apple. In March his work won a $1,000 cash Excellence Award in the 2019 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition in New York City.

Most recently he has been selected to participate in the 2019 NYC Summer Invitational, June 25 - August 3rd, 2019. This exhibit, also in the prestigious Chelsea art district, is at the highly respected George Billis Gallery, 521 W. 26th St., 7th Floor, New York City.

Mr. Ritchie is represented in Houston, Texas by Nicole Longnecker Gallery, and in Arizona by Xanadu Gallery in Scottsdale and Pinetop. See his work at: JamesCRitchieFineArt.com and Facebook.com/JamesRitchiePhotography
