      My name is Jake Higgins. I am 31 years old hailing from the United States. 

I have been creating and growing as a self taught artist for over 7 years.

     I became passionate about creating and exploring after leaving my hometown of Cleveland, OH. Heading clear cross country, southwest into Phoenix, AZ. I hit the ground running. Hanging artwork in restaurants, coffee shops, pop up events, then into galleries, and eventually showcasing solo events.

         Recently I took the biggest risk of my art career- Traveling to Brazil and working out of a wonderful art residency on the island of Ilhabela. There I came face to face with myself and got to experience the life I have been wanting to lead. Mixing art and travel is the most beautiful combination, and definitely a road I am excited to continue taking.
