I am a self‐taught sculptor, painter, photographer and digital artist. I have been creating art for most of my life and became very serious about it in 1990 when I was 30 years old. As a sculptor, I work in clay and a lot of my early works were of gargoyles. Later in my artistic journey, I began teaching with sculpture tutorials on my YouTube channel @TheJakeFolger. In around 2011 I became very interested in photographing water reflections to recreate them into dramatic abstract art pieces.”
Many of these images I still use today in my digital art photography. For a couple years starting in 2018, I began painting mostly with a palette knife and acrylic paint on canvas. My journey continued, ever changing and now I think I have found a very comfortable fit for me doing my digital art photography of nature, trees, forests and landscapes that are stylized and abstract. I also do digital painting of animals and fantasy creations –sometimes working past sculpture works into my paintings.
