Opening his studio in 1982, Jay McDougall's early years were spent designing and building original pieces of furniture. His sculpted wall pieces and vessels are the distillation of a career
spent pursuing economy of line and form. Carved exclusively from Minnesota hardwoods the sensuous shapes call forth the rolling curves that flow as easily as the undulating hills around Fergus Falls, MN, where he lives and works, collecting logs and transforming them into cherished collectables.
Jay says:
A writer for Fine Woodworking Magazine, Jay also has garnered numerous national awards for excellence in his field and was selected as a 2008 McKnight Foundation Fellowship recipient. Today's discriminating contemporary craft collectors can find Jay's work in the nation's most prestigious venues for acquisition. Read more here.
