James Budde is Associate Professor of Art at Boise State University, Idaho.  He received his Master of Fine Art from California State University, Fullerton.  James Budde

Budde's work explores psychological and emotional themes with a humorous edge. He creates works in a realist as well as an abstracted style of sculpture. Budde wants his work to have a "fresh and unedited feel to it" and a "feeling of entity," something that exists in its own reality with an imposing or lively presence.
