About the Artist

Jay Decker is an award-winning impressionist painter based in Texas, USA. Jay spent most of his adult life working in finance until he gave himself painting lessons for his 50th birthday. At this time he discovered he had a hidden talent. Truly a gift from God. He continues to work to improve his painting and technique. Jay's impressionistic paintings capture his subjects with depth and character, and his favorite subjects include landscapes, wildlife, and portraits. He has always been interested in photography and has a unique eye for finding interesting and contrasting values in the wild, and exploiting every color associate with each value.

Jay won Best in Show in Fusion Art's 7th Annual Waterscapes Art Exhibition in March 2022 for his oil on canvas painting, "O'Dell Creek". Of the painting, Jay says, "This is one of my favorite places - Ennis, Montana. I love it when you catch the light just right at the end of a day of fly-fishing on a creek in the mountains."

Jay was born in Fort Worth, Texas. He graduated from Dartmouth in 1993 and then went to work for Carlson Capital. He loves the outdoors- hunting and photographing wildlife. Jay has been married to his wife, Hiliary, for twenty-five years, and the pair share three kids, Merrick, Tarrin and Dawson. He loves Jesus and the mountains and is an avid bow hunter.

Artist Statement

Truly a gift from God. I gave myself painting lessons for my 50th birthday and the rest is history. I work every day to become a better artist. I don't know what that is yet exactly, but I will keep learning as much as I can. I paint with the intention of getting the values as close as possible to reality and then add as many necessary, different colors to those values as I can see.
