Artist Statement:

Jay (Bird) Thompson is a newcomer to the art world, but he is no stranger to the world of art. Bird discovered a penchant for art at a young age and grew to love and admire the work of local and international artists. Mostly self-taught, he is pursuing art services as a partial career and enjoys sharing these talents to influence others. His artwork is filled with the same passion and energy with which he tackles life. Each painting is an extension of himself, inviting you to feel, taste, experience and remember. He hopes that his work as an artist will positively impact your life as a human being.
