The Princeton-educated architect and abstract painter Jim Yeatts was the Roanoke Fine Arts Center’s (now Taubman Museum of Art) unpaid director in the 1950s. Yeatts, regarded by many as one of Roanoke’s premier painters of the 1950s and ’60s, taught art at colleges and universities and gave lessons at the arts center for years. He is credited with nurturing a generation of painters.

New work coming soon.
