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.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
