Jae Purvis

Biography

I was born in the vibrant city of New York with one foot in the grave. Having learned to balance there, I'd never really settled on a true sense of home or calling in life. I felt my most alive when I was adrift on the winds. I'd done my award-winning art and my critical veterinary surgeries , yet still felt a need to cut strings and wander far, wide, and often... I've lived, worked, and mostly shuffled merry around three continents having currently settled in Scotland where, yes, my travels continue. I've once again picked up my paint brushes to share my love for this beautiful planet - the cultures, legends, people, and especially landscapes that shape who we are and define our place in the world - through painterly eyes with those who would revel in the journey's end. Because, finally returning to that first love of art? THAT was like coming home.
