Origin Story

On Canada Day 2014, he rode the Greyhound bus from Toronto to Vancouver to see what mountains look like in real life and never went back.
In the fall of 2024, jayson adventured to Ireland to experience European life and to play Hurling.
His work is inspired by the world around him, and he shares it with those interested in taking a look.
