Our Artist Community

Throughout his career James was a hands-on project leader, and a collaborative mentor.  An inspiring and capable teacher, he invited students to dive head first into the journey of art and embrace the mysteries of the process.

By working with James, many artists say that they found their own creative voice and courage to devote their lives to making art.  Thousands have visited Ilan-Lael but few have had the unique experience to work alongside James and the Ilan-Lael foundation to make and restore Hubbell art.
