About Jay...

Artist Statement

Art in this country is largely under-valued and under-appreciated.  In a time with education focusing primarily on science and mathematics, art program funding cuts, and idolization of entertainment figures, we are ever more in need of bright individuals to pursue a deeper and creative means to progress humanity.   The art presented on this website is my contribution to hopefully connect with others and elevate an understanding and appreciation of the world around us and within us.
