      • After 20 years of calling Boerne home, Jay`s dream of showing his work and the works of other local artists in his own gallery was fulfilled...and alive and well!

    Jay is an accomplished Native American and Western artist. And, although these unique painting styles are his passion, they by no means encompass the complete spectrum of his talents. In addition, his teaching studio offers classes and workshops taught by him and various other local artists in oil and acrylic painting, watercolor, drawing and sculpture for both adults and children.

     Jay graduated from Samford University and was then accepted to the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Soon after graduating, he began working as an illustrator for Lockheed Aircraft Cooperation. After several years in the commercial business of art, Jay realized his dream was to paint and sculpt full-time. This inspired his study of sculpture at the Naguib School of Sculpture and also at the University of Tennessee, which led to studio ventures in Nashville, Tennessee, Rockport, Massachusetts and Santa Fe, New Mexico before making his home in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas... full of history and inspiration.

Jay has produced many commissioned works which are displayed in prominent places throughout the great state of Texas... large paintings at Texas Tech University and Methodist Hospital in Lubbock... large bronze sculptures in other cities: Veterans Park in Boerne, the Markt Platz in Fredericksburg and also at the Woodlands outside of Houston. Jay`s diverse abilities are captured in works produced for St. Luke`s Hospital, the Zaragosa Theatre at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and at USAA, a Fortune 500 company in San Antonio. Jay invites you to browse the comprehensive selection of oil paintings, sculpture, portraits and prints available on his web site. And if you are ever in Boerne, Texas, stop by the gallery and say "Howdy!"
