Graphic Design Degree 


2025
BFA Sculpture






When Jaye started this Degree in Sculpture, He had no idea whatHe was doing. He enjoyed a long past relationship with woodworking. He learned discipline with Graphic Design and his efforts with Pride gave him an appreciation for the many roles paper can require of an artist.He is still enamored with how far he can push paper and woodwork in his art practice. He does not think he has even touched the making yet even though he is over 60 years old.
