A Visit with 

James E. Dupree

At his Studio & Museum in Mantua

When you have a chance to experience true talent and beauty on a visceral level.  You are charged, motivated, and inspired.  I was so moved today that for the first time in quite a while I had to generate this Blog.  This is only a tease,  the panoramic pictures really do no justice to the art or it's creator.  What it will do hopefully is move you to find out more about the man,  the creative mind,  the warm strong soul from which such works of art are birthed.  

In writing this Blog.... I am finding it difficult to find the words large enough,  powerful enough to deliver the experience.  So I am going to let the pictures speak.  The first two pictures above are what you see as you walk into his studio museum. 

This is the left side of the main hallway that leads you into the Studio / Museum Complex.

This is a Panoramic view of the Main Hallway from which you are able to access work area's,  living area's, and creative spaces for workshops, entertainment, and overall unique Artistic Experience.

 What will jump out at you as you view these pictures is the attention to detail and care that James E. Dupree has expended to create this marvelous space.  What you see here is 12 + years of self sacrifice and Love of Art.

Being a Designer and Custom Fabricator this Studio is just .... for lack of a better term... "A Life's Dream Studio"

This is just one of three living Spaces which were created to all those who wish to live and breath the Art while they are visiting Philadelphia and or working with James Dupree and coming from other countries or places outside Philadelphia... That option is there for them at the discretion of Mr. Dupree.
