James Devereux Tait is a scenic and properties designer from New Orleans and currently based out of Portland, Oregon. 
He graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2003 where his focus was printmaking. 
Having been raised by a cabinetmaker and a textile artist, James' aesthetic sensibilities have always been rooted in the material, the tangible. He has spent the past two decades focusing on development as a craftsman and found that his personal artistry and reverence for traditional techniques were best married through scenic, properties, object and textile design. The products of James' work are that of his hand. This consideration and diligence lend to the inherent beauty and quality they possess.
