About Us
James Tinsley Art Foundation
To honour James’ memory, we (his brothers, Mark and Steve) are building the James Tinsley Art Foundation. Our aim is to share James’ incredible artwork with as wide an audience as possible, ensuring his legacy continues to inspire others for many years to come.
Our mission is simple:
“to raise awareness of the benefits art therapy can bring to mental health and wellbeing, provide a hub of information, and signpost people to organisations that can help.”
We hope that James’ story will encourage others to discover how creating art can support mental health, wellbeing and human connection.
To help bring this mission to life, Steve and I, along with friends Ben and support driver Tracey, will be riding from London to Paris from 16th–19th September 2026. Throughout the journey, we’ll be sharing updates on our Facebook page and creating our own artwork each day, showing how art can be a powerful way to express ourselves, connect with others and support our wellbeing (probably vital after long days in the saddle!).
Anyone who knew James will probably smile at the thought that, as he’d have said himself,
And the truth is, he absolutely deserves it.
Thank you for visiting our website and taking the time to learn about James and what we’re trying to achieve. If James’ story has touched you, we’d be incredibly grateful if you could like and follow our Facebook page, share his artwork and help spread our message.
Every share helps keep James’ legacy alive — and, more importantly, could help someone discover the transformative power of art.
