Eureka Fine Art Company

As a young child James soon began to express an interest and ability in writing, drawing and painting.  His fascination and love for the arts was to become his life journey.

Though never formally trained, Yale has studied with many professional artists including commercial illustrators and portrait sketch artists. 

James began selling his art while still in high school and subsequently opened his first studio and later owned and operated studios and galleries in Missouri,  Texas and Arkansas. At the same time he has traveled across the country sketching and painting portraits and receiving commissions for over 45 years. Yale has won many awards across the country in both commercial and fine art.  His client list includes portraits of John Tyson, founder of Tyson Foods, Sam and Helen Walton of Wal-Mart, past President Bill Clinton, Doctor Spock, Willie Nelson, and countless others. Now in his 60's, Yale is internationally known, continues to paint and is writing a new artist novel.

"Understanding awareness, waking or dreaming, is the quest of a lifetime which I’ve used to enrich my art. These glimpses of a deeper understanding keep me exploring, and give intrigue to my art, with a sense of knowingness, but without being able to say what it’s about.”
