James Everett Stuart James Everett Stuart Born Maine, 1852 Died California, 1941 James Everett Stuart began painting at the young age of 8. That same year, his family relocated to a ranch outside of Rio Vista, California. Stuart took lessons from David H. He then studied for five years under R. Yellond and Virgil Williams at the San Francisco School of Design. Also during that time, he studied privately with portraitist Benoni Irwin. In 1881, Stuart opened a studio in Portland, Oregon. Five years later, he relocated to New York and, in 1891, he established a studio in Chicago where he remained for twenty years. These travels are evident in the approximately 5,000 works he is credited with painting. Though he was adept at portraiture, the majority of his paintings are landscapes. Throughout his career, Stuart was a member in several organizations including the Bohemian Club, the Society of Independent Artists, the National Art Club, the American Artists Professional League, and the San Francisco Art Association. In 1912, he opened a studio in Union Square, San Francisco, where he resided until his death in 1941.
