Paintings

---

Jay has been painting and exhibiting his works in the Philippines since 1987. He is an honorary member of the Angono Artists Association and has collectors in Australia, Canada, Europe, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the USA.

His artworks focus almost entirely on marine subjects, especially Philippine coral reefs, a major national heritage. All Jay’s works have the aim of confronting the viewer with the underwater world as something both beautiful and vital that we cannot afford to lose, a message that is becoming more compelling as this important heritage is threatened more and more by pollution and climate change.

The international diving magazine X-Ray Mag, in a 2017 profile of the artist, said his works were “brilliant paintings of stunning underwater scenes using unique angles and artistic techniques.“
