Through art Shay provides powerful emotional responses to a world of real and fantasy
stimuli. Each work challenges the viewer to create his own reality and understanding of
the exciting mix of forms, objects and color within.
Beginning his art career at age 5 with an early interest in sports and superheros , one still
finds a sense of carefree imagination combined with new meaning and strength in all of his
work. Likewise, a sense of playfulness from Shay's life as a football star, surfer, and free
spirit, is linked with his own internal challenges in the real world and pervades all of his art.
Shay earned a Fine arts Degree from the University of Colorado.
Shay has won numerous awards including being a gold medalist in the prestigious Art show
in (1992). His original works grace the homes of such people as actress Halle Berry and Jayne
Seymour, athletes such as Tony Hawk, Bill Garnett, and Koy Detmer, and music legend
Gregg Allman. Shay resides in San Diego, CA.
