James Schlage

James Schlage grew up in Portage, Michigan and studied art at Western Michigan University.   Throughout his career he has worked in business, real estate, insurance and currently serves as an instructional information technology specialist.  He is well known and appreciated for his outgoing personality and his ability to make complicated technological tasks easy for the end users he supports.  Throughout his business career, however, his creative interests have remained steadfast and over the past five years in particular, he has enjoyed reconnecting with his first love – painting and drawing.  Having established his new studio, Vieux Carré, James looks forward to expanding his creative interests while holding firmly to what he believes is paramount:  appreciate the world’s beauty and cherish what you love.
