I love this work of art for its brilliant bold colors and simple geometric forms.
I was very sad when I heard that he had died in March of 2011.
James was a Master weaver in Northern New Mexico and loved teaching others his techniques, his work has been shown in the Denver museum, and collected by many lovers of his beautiful and unique art.
There is a wonderful video on the life and works of James on YouTube by Rebecca Mezoff (May 5, 2021)
