My work in marble entitled The Phoenix at Dawn was on exhibit at the juried members show in the Parker Gallery of the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell Massachusetts, in December of 2003.

Here the Phoenix is found in slumber, at the dawn of a new beginning, perhaps moments from it's flight into new horizons. The Phoenix represents hope at the dawn of a new era, rising out of the ashes of despair and into glorious flight. [SOLD]

Jay carving marble sculpture entitled Moonflower.

"My approach to stone carving is generally guided by a dialog with the chosen stone. This dialog is greatly influenced by the color and shape of the stone. It is rare that I work from a square edged block of marble. I often prefer the rough shape given to stone by the raw forces of nature."


Moonflower This marble carving is an attempt to blend my interests in the natural world of plants and animals with my fascination for machines.	Time This carving is inspired by the movement of the moon around the earth. This gray marble from Vermont has beautiful clouds of white floating through what I call the lunarscapes of Time.	Mother Earth This carving is also gray Vermont marble with veins of white drifting through the carving. The sculpture represents for me the nurturing forces at work in the world around us. [SOLD]	The Gossip Monger This is one of the many pieces I've made in plaster and cement over the past fourteen years. To see more of this kind of work, please visit JWH Studio Statuary. These are all original designs created by me, and are an affordable alternative to my one of a kind stone carvings.
