I plan to be collecting JD Wise art for a long time! "Sax Sells",
was my first purchase. I was captured the first time I saw it, and realized after a couple days, if I didn't purchase it I would regret it forever.
      No regrets! Not only is the painting amazing, and a favorite, JD himself is a favorite. I have loved partnering on interior decor projects with him and getting to know him.
      He is as dynamic and vibrant as his art. "Sax Sells" is currently hanging in the dining room of my Airbnb, sharing "Music City" love with travelers from all over the world.

      It's hard to believe that it has been more than 30 years since I first met JD. I had the pleasure of teaching his three talented children, and in all that time,
I knew him as a musician, a mover and shaker, and a visionary. It wasn’t until a few years ago when his wife, Chris, posted one of his pieces on FaceBook that I had any idea that he was also a brilliant painter! I love the way he has combined two of his passions into one art form.
     His paintings are completely captivating and set the perfect tone in my creative workspace. My original JD Wise is the focal point of my studio and is one of my most prized possessions.

     I was first introduced to JD’s work a few years ago and was instantly enamored with his quirky, fun,
and abstract style. There’s a brilliant callback to the abstractions, modern stylings, and graphic qualities of the '50s and '60s, but at the same time a subtle anthropomorphic quality to his subjects be it a flute, clarinet, trumpet, or piano.
     When all of these traits are combined, they produce what is most simply described in one emotion: pure joy. From my interactions with JD, that makes perfect sense. He’s a wellspring of joy and enthusiasm for his art, music, life, family, and faith. Perhaps that’s the clearest indication of mastery of his craft- he’s able to create an honest
representation of himself and convey a bit of his soul to the viewer.
     That’s an accomplishment many artists work their whole lives to achieve.
