For most of his career he lived and worked in and around San Francisco. With a studio in both Sausalito and the Hunters Point artist colony in San Francisco, James Stagg has always been in high demand. He has been commissioned to do paintings for Stanford University, One Market Restaurant, Hyatt Regency Hotels and MUMM Champagne Winery to name a few. Some of his prominent private collectors include actors Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton and director Ron Howard. Mr. Stagg has been represented by Golden Gate Editions and Coit Tower Gallery since 1997.
“ More than anything, my paintings are
about color and light and a certain
subtle uneasiness that appears in
a seemingly normal daily scene”.
