Jay has always been an artist. From his earliest memories he has played with clay or drew or painted. Upon entering higher education he had planned to continue his study of pottery but became enchanted with painting. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Arizona State University focusing on painting and drawing, art history and museum science.

He blends his woodworking and painting skills to create unique polychrome lathe turned and sculpted pieces. These works are inspired by the daily shifting from day to night, the mysteries and imagery of nature, the textures, layers and undulations of the landscape and images of deep space.

Jay's work has exhibited widely, and been published in woodworking and woodturning magazines nationally and internationally.

While raising a family he worked in the environmental protection field and contributed to many successful and award-winning waste reduction and recycling programs. He finishes his work with water-based lacquer or oil and wax finishes.
