ABOUT THE ARTIST

Artist: James Havens  


Born: 1968 - present  


Education: The Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA


AWARD WINNING ARTIST  & CONSERVATIONIST


James Havens is a renowned painter and sculptor celebrated for his epic, large-scale museum pieces exploring historic themes, endangered species, and majestic figurative oil paintings. His recent focus on conservation efforts has led to impactful projects — COOK INLET BELUGA PROJECT, TUSKERS OF ALKEBULAN, SEDONA CANVAS 1, and the upcoming NORTH PACIFIC RIGHT WHALE PROJECT — spotlighting endangered wildlife and ecosystems globally.


Born in Bangor, Maine in 1968. James attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. He is currently based in Anchorage, AK, where he owns and operates Havens Studio & Gallery, Alaska Paleo-Project, and The Havens Relic Co. His proudest creations are his two amazing children: Rubee' Sahara Havens & Sage Mason Havens.


James Havens' original works are featured in museums, corporate, and private collections worldwide. His expertise extends to diverse creative services — building-sized murals, percent for art projects, videography, photography, handcrafted multimedia sculpture, and design services.


ARTIST STATEMENT 


Creating art is the very fabric of my being, woven since childhood. I cherish the tactile experience of crafting handmade originals, surrendering to the dreamlike journey, and reveling in the triumph of bringing visions to life.


As a painter, I've specialized in large-scale oils on canvas, expanding my passion to sculpture in recent years. A decade-long collaboration with the UAF Museum of the North's team has yielded iconic faces for Alaska's newfound dinosaurs, inspiring "The Alaska Paleo-Project" educational initiative.


Education and conservation drive my creative process. Through immersive public art projects, I aim to ignite artistic spark in newcomers, raise awareness for critically endangered species and habitats, and inspire positive change.


Witnessing smiles and sparking passion fuels my artistic fire. With every piece, I strive to illuminate meaningful themes, fostering a better world.


Join me on this final chapter of my lifelong artistic journey – Cheers!
