It is invigorating to see someone
as talented as James, sharing and inspiring his students
to push themselves and experience the wonder that is creation
…
Clark Cunningham
Director – New York School
of Art
Yesterday's class was
beyond fabulous. The superb teaching, the
attention, expertise, encouragement you give to each of
us;
your beautiful energy which suffuses the room; your paintings
everywhere which are sheer delight; the hilarity at certain
times; the talent! My God! No wonder we adore being there.
Many, many thanks for everything.
