Wyland was born in Detroit, Michigan. He was a student of the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit and majored in sculpture and painting. After graduating, Professors Jay Holland, Russel Keeter and Bill Gerard urged Wyland to relocate to California where he could continue to improve on his already evident artistic talent.

Wyland has earned the reputation as one of America¿s most exceptional innovative influences, as well as an outspoken advocate for marine resource conservation. His non-profit Wyland Foundation has supported several conservation programs since 1993, including Wyland's monumental Whaling Wall mural project an epic series of more than ninety-one life size marine life murals that spans twelve countries on four continents, and is viewed by an estimated 1 billion people every year. The artist's efforts, moreover, have been recognized by the United Nations, Sierra Club, the Underwater Academy of Arts and Sciences, where he is listed among its Diving Hall of Fame, and private and public institutions throughout the world.

Over the years, James Coleman's name has become synonymous with sweeping skies, tropical rainforests, rich deep woods and silent deserts. Coleman began his career with Walt Disney Productions in the summer of 1969 when his mother, who had been working as a secretary for Disney since the Hyperion days, got him a job in the mailroom. Coleman's big break came when he entered one of his paintings in the studio art show. Several of the Disney artists viewed James Coleman¿s artwork in the show, and immediately saw his potential and his untapped ability to paint. They wisely encouraged him to pursue animation background painting. After working on such notable films as Beauty and the Beast, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Too, Fox and the Hound, The Great Mouse Detective, and many more, James Coleman was ready to devote all of his time and talent to the love of his life: fine art painting.
