Hi, I’m Jacob Hayes

I have always loved painting, drawing and any type of creating. I grew up in Kansas and studied art in college at the University of Kansas (rock chalk). After college I moved to New York City for almost a decade and studied at the New York Academy of Art where I received an MFA in painting.

My family and I recently moved back to Kansas. My landscape paintings have been greatly inspired by the scenery, and my figurative paintings inspired by family and childhood memories. Learn more about me and my art here.

In my spare time I’m a stay-at-home dad. I live with my wife Alison, daughter Margot (5) and son Warren (2).
