Jay Trefethen is a self taught artist living in Bradford, Vermont. He creates original drawings, pyrography and mixed media art. A lifelong enthusiast of sketching and drawing, he started sketching as a child, and just never stopped. He never saw a reason to stop. He has been in juried gallery shows, illustrated two children’s books, helped illustrate a graphic novel, created murals, and done countless portrait commissions. On top of all that, he maintains a ‘day job’ building furniture at the famous Pompanoosuc Mills in East Thetford, Vermont. He also helps out as caregiver to his disabled spouse, Meredith. Jeez, when does this guy sleep?
Where to see Jay’s Art:
In Person
Pompanoosuc Mills Showroom, East Thetford, Vermont. You can see a cherry coffee table Jay built from scratch and illustrated with a wildlife scene, titled The Guardian, in the showroom. Last I checked, it was on the second floor. You can purchase this piece, or order your own custom furniture with original pyrography art by Jay.
Chapman’s Country Store, Fairlee, Vermont. Jay has several of his smaller woodburning pieces at Chapman’s. These make great gifts, so please feel free to buy as many as you want. Don’t worry, he’ll make more.
