Hello, I'm James A. Truett.

Born in Alaska and deeply rooted in my Irish heritage​,​ I am a 67-year-old artist and photographer renowned for my vibrant​,​ impressionist-style depictions of nature. With a career that began at the age of 13​,​ I have transformed my passion for photography into a celebrated journey​,​ becoming an internationally published former AP journalist and the author of seven books. As the Editor & Publisher of the innovative “Awesome Ireland” magazine​,​ I champion the beauty of the Irish landscape​,​ inspiring others with my motto: “See Beauty Everywhere."  My art​,​ held in private collections across the U.S.​,​ Canada​,​ and the European Union​,​ has graced exhibitions in notable locations such as Bali​,​ Beijing​,​ Islamabad​,​ New York​,​ and Las Vegas. My work not only reflects a deep appreciation for nature but also conveys a message of reflection and hope. My resilience shines through after surviving a life-threatening armed robbery in Seattle​,​ where my camera took the bullet that saved me. A devastating forest fire in Oregon destroyed my mountain home and nearly all of my early pre-digital work. Yet​,​ I continue to create​,​ fueled by my love for the natural world. A proud dad​,​ private pilot​,​ and sailor​,​ I am more than an artist; I am a champion of nature and history​,​ inviting everyone to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us.
