About Jay
My
Story
I am an artist in Austin, Texas who is absolutely thrilled by the world around me! My work is a vibrant reflection of my experiences and emotions, and I am constantly pushing myself to create pieces that inspire wonder and curiosity in those who view them.
I have always loved art and have always enjoyed making art, especially for others. But by parental direction I was advised I needed a true day job. During the day, I work as a tech expert specializing in retail technology.
When I'm not creating art, I spend my time fostering cute dachshunds and running a sanctuary for surrendered pet tortoises. (You read that right! There's currently 12!) I live in Austin, Texas with my two teenage sons and two foster-fails Oscar and Lily. My motto and guiding light is to LIVE A GREAT STORY!
Value
My artistic values lies in using art as a bridge between people and ideas. I find immense value in translating complex concepts into visual experiences that spark conversation and foster a sense of community. Through my work, I strive to create a positive impact by encouraging viewers to connect with each other and engage with the world around them in new ways.
Mission
As an artist, I'm drawn to the vibrant textures and layering possibilities of acrylics. My work often explores themes of nature and human connection, using bold colors and organic shapes to evoke a sense of joy and tranquility. I believe art has the power to uplift and inspire, and I find it an honor to share my passion with viewers, encouraging them to find their own creative voice.
