Your total years on this Big Blue Marble may be a secret, but the beauty and inspiration you’ve given us for lo these many years are well-known — and equally immeasurable.
We wish you a most-splendid day… and please know that every one of us has been inspired by your and Anne’s beautiful lives. May the strength of Volcan be with you on this day and many years to come! And…if you care to…Help us surprise James with funds for THE HUBBELL ARCHIVE PROJECT. We know he’ll be very appreciative. >> You can make your gift here
Leave a birthday message for James below. We’ll present them to him on October 23rd with a card containing all your birthday greetings. And don’t forget, shhhh…it’s a surprise!
The above photo was taken a year ago after the performance of “Queen Calafia’s Pilgrimage” when students from Spencer Valley School unfurled a “Happy Birthday” banner for James.
Dear James,
Happy, Happy Birthday!!!
Thank you for sharing your artistic passions with a world that is far better off because of them! Thank you for touching so many hearts and souls with your imagination put to so many amazing artistic creations…I consider myself blessed to have crossed, albeit for a brief moment, the path of your creative life’s journey…you have taken one of my favorite quotes:
“To know is nothing at all; to imagine is everything.” ― Anatole France.
and transformed your imagination into tangible beauty for all to enjoy and admire…THANK YOU, BLESS YOU and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hi James, When Sim Bruce Richards designed our home in Los Altos Hills in 1971 he asked if he could introduce us to a, “wonderful, young artist (40)” to embellish our home with beauty. We were just 30 and had three little children. His introduction to you and Anne was such a glorious gift to us! Each day, to be surrounded by your marvelous spirit created in wood, metal, and colorful glass is such a joy. As a fellow artist, to have painted beside you at your Life Drawing/Painting Salon, or your Quiet Place Chapel, or on a sail boat in British Columbia, has been such a treat. When you created the gorgeous, huge 3D window for my studio you said you liked it so much it was just “on loan”. No way Jim! You and Anne must come and visit it, and us, lots more. Happy Birthday Dear One! Love, Nancie Crowley
Happy Birthday, Jim!????????????????????????
Thank you for being an inspiration to many and a guardian and champion for all things natural.
Your friends and admirers,
Carol Schloo-Wright and Ken Wright
You’ve been a wonderful inspiration ever since I got to know you while working on the Hubbell
Gateway a lifetime ago!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Thank you for the beauty you have given to our home and to the world.
hmmm… warble… Happy Birthday Dear Jim … from a way-back fan and crony who has appreciated hugely all the good work you’ve created right here and around the Pacific Rim and even those Palace Doors over in Abu Dhabi. Hi Anne and stay healthy up there in your artist’s abode.
I have gratitude daily for our paths’ crossing and treasure the moments shared drawing together, building your beautiful glassworks, framing your paintings, gazing upon this beautiful planet and breathing in the mountain air as well as the sea breezes, your way of taking quiet pause and then moving forward with fresh perspective…Have a Happy Birthday Jim???? and remember to wear the crown in grand style ????
