Jay Brandt

I was born and raised in Idaho. I always enjoyed hiking and fishing in the Sawtooth Mountains, spending time at our little cabin in McCall, Idaho and at our family farm in Cambridge, Idaho.

I have always had a deep appreciation for great art and creative solutions to challenging problems. I love to write, paint and create using any medium.

My mind is often taken hostage by intrusive thoughts.
I strive to paint in the moment and let the brush or knife read those emotions. My paintings are very therapeutic for me and if I could paint day and night I would. I love to create because because it brings me peace.

In my professional career I have always worked in Advertising and am most happy when I am solving problems with creative ideas. I have created hundreds if not thousands of advertising campaigns over the past 30 years. I know how rare it is to have found a career in doing what you love and for that I will always be grateful.
