James Whitehouse

James graduated from UCI, with degrees in Chemistry and Biology (summa cum laude) in 1993. He graduated from Harvard Law School (cum laude) in 1997. He was admitted to the bar for all four of the Federal District Court of California, as well as the Federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, where he argued several cases.

James’s extensive academic background in science, law, and social justice has created a commitment to challenging societal and political structures. Art has become an extension of his life-long work in activism. His experience with the justice system and his belief in the power of art to change minds and address difficult issues, has inspired him to focus on social critique, addressing themes like systemic inequality, political corruption, and cultural conformity.
