Jay Davenport

Jay Davenport has always been interested in and excited by fine art, especially representations of animals and wildlife. With a push from his grandfather, he began private instructions at an early age. His enthusiasm for and education in the arts continued, and he earned an Associates Degree in Painting and Illustration and later completed a four year apprenticeship in Realism and Trompe-l’Oeil.

Davenport’s desire to paint the humorous has materialized into his original works of animals and how the different things they do relate to human life. His intention is for the viewer to “step back once in awhile and observe and even laugh at ourselves.”
