Artist & Master Carpenter
Jay David
I was born into a family of many talented carpenters. From a very young age, you could find me working alongside my grandfather in his woodworking shop. In my high school years, I was on the job site with my dad learning all phases of the construction industry. I began my career with the goal of being able to paint a piece of artwork to hang over the mantle that I created that resides in the home that I built.
I love the whole process of building a new home or remodeling an older home. But ultimately, I love creating a space that functions well and looks great for my client. I take great care in finding out exactly how my client will be using the space and aim to give them a final result beyond their expectations.
Additionally, designing and creating a piece of furniture or artwork is my true passion. I love working with my client to design a piece that helps solve their problems and fits their design style – Or repurposing an old piece giving it a new life. Take a look at some of these creations at www.blackdogartstudios.com and www.jaydavidart.com
I am an active member of the Sawnee Association of the Arts and the Cherokee Arts Council. If I’m not creating and building, you will probably find me outdoors -plein air painting, running with MJ or on my tractor at our farm.
