“I reached a certain point where I realized that this is my life and I need to start listening to myself about what is important.”
Jake Newell does his artwork at night to fund his true passion, which is building houses for Habitat for Humanity. He’s traveled the country full-time since 2011 building houses, fly fishing and running his hand engraving business from the road.
