James Everett Stuart arrived in California with his parents in 1860 as an eight year old. He attended school in San Francisco and studied art with Thomas Hill and William Keith. His early work reflected the mood and mystery of the French Barbizon school. He painted extensively throughout the west and Alaska. He held a special fascination with Yellowstone. Between 1912 and 1941, he maintained a studio in San Francisco near Union Square. He was a member of the Bohemian Club, and many of his paintings were hung on the walls of fellow member's homes. One of his works hangs in the White House, and he's shown in the historical societies of Oregon, Washington, and Montana.
