James A. Truett, Artist/Photographer
James A. Truett is an Artist, Photographer, and Author whose artworks have been exhibited internationally in Beijing, Hong Kong, Dubai, London, New York, Paris, Berlin, Miami, and many other cities worldwide.
As a former Associated Press journalist, his work has been published internationally, and his artworks and photography are in the collections of multiple prominent U.S., Canadian and international collectors.
During his 50+ year career, he has survived a shooting (his camera took the bullet!), a raging forest wildfire, and Los Angeles traffic in his journeys as a sailor, private pilot and adventurer, travelling extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America and Europe.

A second-generation Irish immigrant born in Alaska, he retraced his grandmother's path and settled near the family farm in County Clare in 2007, immersing himself in the inspiring, soul-stirring natural beauty of Ireland.
When not exploring the Irish countryside, he enjoys cooking and introducing his Irish family to international cuisine during family lunches. All have survived so far.
He battles his addiction to news by sharing his inspirational images and Irish blessings on his popular Facebook and Instagram pages.
