"James is a hoot!! Great teacher and raconteur. We are in the photos!!,
Just tell him to get back to us so we can work with him again."

"James is a phenomenal art teacher. Many can paint. Few can encourage others in just the right way to allow their view of the world to be communicated with pigment and brush. James is one of those very few…and when you are taking a break, you will laugh and laugh and laugh. He is a joy. "
