After teaching anatomy and art history for 21 years at Stanford University and the Academy of Art University, James Xavier Barbour decided to open his own school. He founded The Decorus Atelier of Figurative Art in Brooklyn, NY and is currently the primary instructor, along with two other instructors. Decorus Atelier is not your average art school, James has created an institution that brings teaching and learning back to the old fashioned way of studying anatomy and art with the local master. His approach is very personal, as he offers each student one-on-one instruction.
James is passionate about expressing the eternal or universal truths that bind us as human beings as well our differences. His work often contains a psychological narrative which dances on the edges of both reality and the surreal.

Believe in your ability. Those words are straight from Dr. Joseph Talbet himself. Dr. Talbet is an inspiring individual in many ways. After getting his pilot's licence and flying for a couple years, he turned back to his true passion, medicine. He completed his MD in Egypt and moved to the United States to become a plastic surgeon. Unfortunately, he was faced with obstacle after obstacle after obstacle. After being told he could not practice in the US with his degree from Egypt, he decided to go to medical school again! While working in the hospital, he was inspired to write his first children's book after having a fun interaction with a patient, passing drawings back and forth. Since then, he has published several children's medical books and is currently working on writing more. Dr. Talbet's story is one that will inspire all to believe in themselves and to never, never, never give up.
