[ Hello all! I joined this site to take advantage of the online portfolio, even though I didn't fit the target demographic. Now that I have my artwork on my blog: http://canopygallery.wordpress.com I am rarely here, but I am leaving this profile up as a traffic sign. Oh, and I don't live in NYC, I'm in Riverside, CA, but that was the best option for a Yank. I wish you all artistic fulfillment and success. Every Blessing ]

James Elmore founded Canopy Gallery in 2009 to feature his artwork and promote the works of other contemporary artists via social media. His digital artwork is now available for sale as stretched canvas prints and affordable posters. His images also adorn home goods such as stationery, pillows, towels, accessories, and laptop cases. He is a graduate of the California State University of Fullerton, B.A. and the University of Arizona, Tucson, M.F.A. Theatre Arts Programs. James has always enjoyed collaboration. For the community opera “Condemned,” produced in Vancouver, BC, he contributed as a librettist. He adapted Khalil Gibran’s “The Prophet” for the stage, thanks in part to the Khalil Gibran Committee and is currently adapting Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Letters to a Young Poet” as a one-man show. He is a published poet and has performed at the Nuyorican Poet’s Café in NYC. James Elmore has acted in the Theatre for over twenty-five years, including the roles of Samuel Sutler in “Rebel Women,” at the Ohio Theatre in Soho, NYC; Benjamin in “Finding the Sun” (written and directed by Edward Albee); various characters for The Paper Bag Players 1996-1997 Season (“Unquestionably the leading U.S. Theatre Company for kids,”~ People Magazine). He also facilitates Artist’s Way courses and strongly believes in the power of creativity to heal.
