Artists Bio including:   Brief Artists Statement:



 Jay T. Jax is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden Press, Inc.  A Houston, Texas commercial printing company he founded in 1980.  "I do commercial graphic art for a living, but my passion is sculpture" 

 

Jay studied fine art and art history from an early age spending many weekends as a boy drawing the masters in the Albright Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York where there is a larger-than-life size "Mother and Child" wood sculpture by Henry Moore.  That is where his love of sculpture was born.

  

After his military service in the US Army, he returned to the United States and eventually settled in Houston where he put away his art and built his commercial printing business.

  

Now, after thirty five plus years of printing two dimensional graphic work on paper, Jay is back at work doing the three dimensional sculpture that he loves.  "I like to see the work from all sides, walk around it, touch it; you can't do that with a painting.  "I still get in trouble for touching the sculpture in Museums".

  2. Currently showing at (locations) Looking for a new studio just now.
