- The Artist -
"My art is merely an expression of my constant pursuit of knowledge and experience in life. For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed creating new and original art. Starting in elementary school with an interest in drawing and design. I soon became obsessed with learning and teaching myself new creative skills no matter how odd or irrelevant. This mentality allows me to lead an enriched and experienced life that I am now able to translate through my art. Using a variety of original and traditional techniques that stem from many different crafts, along with the desire for technical perfection. I aim to create new and never before seen art pieces that reflect upon me as an artist."
Early Beginnings

Jacob purchased the equipment and began teaching himself the art of stained glass
