Hi, I'm Jake. I was born in Washington D.C. and then grew up in Annandale, VA. I attended James Madison University where I graduated with a B.F.A in Studio Art and an emphasis in Graphic Design.

I'm currently living in Harrisonburg, VA working full time as a graphic designer and painting as much as I can on the side. As a painter, I started off working primarily in abstract expressionism and have since explored photorealism and portraiture. I like to experiment and try new things so who knows where I’ll end up in the future.

If you’re interested in commissioning me to work on a painting for you, send me an email with a brief description of the concept and I’ll be happy to review it and get back to you.
