Jay Bauer´s paintings and furniture have been described as amusing, angular, anthropomorphic, architectural, austere, beautifully handcrafted, cartoony, colorful, exotic, geometric, humorous, outlandish, playful, unique and whimsical.
Hardly any of these terms apply to the artist.
Jay has been employed as a welder, sign painter, auto mechanic, commercial announcer, electrician, jewelry designer, copywriter and bouncer. After earning a BFA from the Art Academy of Cincinnati in 1989, he relocated to Seattle, where he hand-painted very detailed pictures of very large airplanes for an American mega corporation.
He was replaced by a computer.
Jay is now a designer and illustrator for a major university in one of our southern states. He draws an alarming number of bulldogs. After hours, he works in his home studio in a little grey house across the road from an alpaca farm. He lives
with two dogs, a fat black cat and a
very tolerant woman.
