who specialized in drawing and painting portraits, landscapes and industrial scapes. He was commissioned for various private projects and is known for drawing and painting with vivid colors and detailed subject matter. Pye died in 2006. The James F. Pye Community
Art Exhibit was developed through the “Start with Art” program with the help of his children, artist Jeffery Pye Sr. and artist Sharon Pye-Brown. The James F. Pye Community Art Exhibit hopes to educate and re-educate the youth of minority contributions in
an effort to make the local community, city, country and the world a better place.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
