<p><font face="Arial" size="4">Born in Oakland, California, in 1930, Jim DeWitt's career has never veered
from his two loves -- sailing and art..</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">As a five-year-old, he drew pictures of the sailboat his father was building
in their backyard -- and dreamed of someday being her skipper. After high
school, he studied art for six years at the California College of Arts and
Crafts and Los Angeles Art Center -- learning sailmaking and racing sailboats in
his spare time.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">In the busy years since, Jim has gained international renown as both an
artist and a winning yachtsman. Racing in everything from eight foot El Toro
dinghies to blue-water yachts, he has won an impressive array of national and
international trophies. In 1963, he was the first West Coast skipper to capture
the coveted Mallory Cup in the US Men's Sailing Championship. In 1992, at age
62, he took first place in the International Master's Regatta, sailed in J 24s
in San Francisco, California. He continues to race his El Toro dinghy regularly.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">His passion for painting has kept pace with his love of sailing and his
impressive racing career is reflected in the authority and honesty of his
nautical paintings. (</font>Marine Art, Maritime Art, Yachting Art)</p>
<p><font face="Arial">In addition to shows and exhibitions in San Diego, San Francisco, New York,
Waikiki and Newport, Rhode Island, Jim has exhibited in galleries and museums
worldwide. Well known collectors include Dennis Conner, Buddy Melges, Bill Koch,
and Roy Disney. Jim's racing paintings are valued assets in other private and
corporate collections, and are on permanent display in many yacht clubs,
including the prestigious St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco, California.<br>
