JAMES MICHAEL STARR is an American artist whose collages and found-object sculptures have appeared in galleries and exhibitions in the U.S. and abroad. Noteworthy are two invitationals, the 2001 International Exhibition of Contemporary Collage in Paris, France, and Assemblage 100, which toured New Zealand in 2004. Images of his art have been selected for reproduction in several books on these mediums, including the 2006 French survey of contemporary collage, “L’art du Collage a L’aube du Vingt et Unieme Siecle (The Art of Collage at the Dawn of the Twenty-First Century)” and Lark Books' "Masters: Collage/Major Works by Leading Artists" in 2010. He is represented by Conduit Gallery in Dallas and by Hooks-Epstein Galleries in Houston.
