Rediscovered Art

The Arkansas Democrat Gazette Presents…

Mar 20, 2026

The lost art of Jame Yale is a huge mystery, and I want to give a special thanks to the Arkansas-Democrat Gazette and nwaonline.com for believing in the James Yale Legacy Project, and for helping us reach out to a larger audience with this beautiful presentation and invitation in the search for the art and the stories behind the art of The Lost Artist of the Ozarks.

A feature article was recently published by journalist Dustin Staggs: Click to discover  ‘The Lost Artist of The Ozarks’– The Life and Legacy  of the artist James Yale”. The feature is accompanied with the short documentary by Faye Hedera, For the Love of James” (see below).

August 18th begins the third year of the James Yale Legacy Project, and I would like to report that we are actively making tremendous progress, and invite you to join our sleuthing. Not only are you actively uncovering and sharing Arkansas History and beautiful artwork that the  world has not seen…THIS IS FUN!

Contact us at jamesyale.com. And welcome to the Nancy Drew Crew.

Special gratitude to: Dustin Staggs – Feature Journalist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Faye Hedera – artist, documentarianette, and journalist for the Democrat -Gazette, Matt Meers – curator, and daughter Allison Yale.
