Jay Lonewolf Morales – Colorblind Painter Extraordinaire
Welcome back!
Jay Lonewolf Morales is an astonishing painter that suffers from monochromacy – complete color blindness — the rarest and most uncommon form of color blindness. He is one of only five in the world that suffers from achromatopsia, or rod monochromacy, which also affects sensitivity to light. The artist can only see in black and white and shades of grey, yet all of his paintings are done with vivid colors.
As Morales puts it, he has the eyes of a cat, but he sees like a dog. But even dogs can see some color.
Painting: “Solomon’s Eyes”
Jay doesn’t permit others into his studio while he works. “I cry every time I paint because I cannot enjoy the pigments of my labor. My realm resides in shades, with the creative independence of free flowing serenity.” says Jay. “I can’t see what I’m doing. My hands flail around half-hazardly. I’m trying to create what I call my children.”
When Jay Lonewolf was 7 and living in Cochecton, N.Y., he would watch his grandfather paint. One day he took Jay to Prospect Park in Brooklyn and set him up with canvas and a large sketch pad with paints. His grandfather glanced and noticed he was painting the same thing as he was only in unusual colors that weren’t natural to nature. He screamed with glee and showed his parents, who decided to enroll him in an art school for the gifted.
One week later he was sent home with a note taped to his forehead which read, “We cannot teach the ignorant.” Enraged, his mother went to the school the very next day to speak with the teacher.
The art teacher said that Jay was gifted, but they couldn’t teach him because he couldn’t adhere to the color chart assignments.
His mother looked her straight in the eyes and said, “My son would love to be able to follow your instructions like all the other gifted children, however, my son has never seen the color of his own eyes. He is completely color blind. His world is black and white. Neither his mother nor teacher could contain their tears.
Working on painting titled “The River of Flowing Dreams”
Jay Lonewolf never took another art class.
When he paints, he remembers his mother’s tears that day and how helpless she felt that he couldn’t receive an art education. Some days he can’t hold the tears back, reflecting upon that day.
Although he can’t see the colors, he’s still able to work with them. Jay turns the lights off and sets candles alight on either side of his canvas, using the reflections and movement of the shadows from the candlelight, adding texture to create his artworks with blobs of paint, melted wax and pieces of wire mesh. ”I want people to touch my paintings.” he said. “They’re touching a part of my soul.”
”I get kind of offended if you don’t want to touch it.” Jay says. “Sometimes artists are too sensitive about their finished works. I think that after the creation process, sensitivity should take a nap.”
Self-portrait: “If I could see colors would my flesh would look like this”
Self-portrait: If we could see colors the way Jay Lonewolf Morales does it could look like this.
Jay’s mother passed many years ago. He says that sometimes when he’s painting in the darkness he can feel a pair of arms embracing him and can smell her perfume.
Painting: “The Summit of Reality”
One day on the coast of Key West, Jay Lonewolf Morales came upon a man curled upon a boulder, crying. He asked the man why he was weeping. The man told him he’d gotten out of Cuba and that his daughter was still in a Cuban prison.
Jay felt compelled to paint the man in all his sorrow. Thus was born the ‘Summit of Reality’, one of his works from his ‘waking experience’.
“Even when we awaken are we truly awake”
Morales offers advice for artists that suffer artist’s block: “When you find yourself lost because you seem vexed because you feel like painting but you cannot seem to be able to create for one reason or another, this is when you very simply walk away. One cannot and should not force themselves to create. That is a natural function of the mind in a state of unclarity.”
“Avoid attempting to go against your nature. Do something else to keep your mind occupied. When I paint it is because something from a very deep place is calling and simply cannot contain itself. It is like a voice that is getting louder and louder inside.”
“The sad thing is only you can hear that calling and it does not leave you alone until you fulfill it’s needs, and when you do it is the greatest feeling of ecstasy you can have without the benefit of a skilled lover!”
Painting: “The Crucible”
The Miami Herald reports that Morales doesn’t want to be recognized as “that color-blind painter. A lot of people love my work before they even know I’m color-blind. I want to be recognized simply as a painter.”
Morales dislikes being called an ‘artist’. Disinclined to label his work, he doesn’t follow any formal established art movements. He considers himself an abstract impressionist.
His favorite artist is the Dutch abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning, as well as expressionist Purvis Young and Lee Krasner.
Painting: “In the Eyes of the Creator”
Jay recently displayed some of his artwork at a Coral Gables show sponsored by Slofar Development, for which he was featured in Key Biscayne Magazine’s July-August issue. He’s commanded as much as $68,000 for “In the Shadow of Her Soul”.
Painting: “Humility Holds on Flesh Falls”
Morales donates some of his earnings to help poor and homeless people, and has stood outside churches and shelters giving out shirts, sweaters, socks and other essentials. ”We were so poor when I was growing up, I feel like I have to do something to give back.” he said.
He is working to get some paintings into Art Basel Miami Beach this year. If he sells them, he plans to rent a large truck and fill it with clothes, blankets and shoes to give to the poor over the holidays. He also hopes to participate in next year’s Coconut Grove Arts Festival.
Jay’s lifetime dream is to exhibit his works alongside his daughter Francesca, who has won awards for her artwork. “If I got to do that, I think I could die happy the next day.” he said.

What amazing paintings, and so very colourful too.
Although I take many photos and convert some back to black and white as they create a better image, I just cannot imagine seeing everything in black and white.
What an awesome talent he has.
Great to see you Colin
Jay Lonewolf Morales is an amazingly gifted painter. If you read up on him at MySpace you’ll see what an incredible spirit this man has, which I feel even outshines his talent.
I agree, sometimes converting color to black and white defines the image much more clearly.
It’s so sad to think of him weeping because he can’t see his own artwork as we do. But what he lacks in his sight he’s been gifted by talent tenfold.
As someone who has seen his work in person, especially at his gallery showings, you would be amazed as to the color and feelings that he puts into his work. You can get a better idea as to what he is saying. You have to see his work in person.
You’re very fortunate Don. I would LOVE to see Jay’s work in person.
I understand exactly what you’re saying. Images on the net never come remotely close to the real beauty of the artwork. Reading Jay’s MySpace profile is very revealing about his spirituality.
Kim Barker sent me a portrait that she created for me in my image from my avatar. I saw the photo on her site, but much of the detail is lost on the net. It’s created with a blend of charcoals and white paint, and the paints don’t even show through in the photos. The work is absolutely beautiful.
There’s a link at the bottom of this post to another I wrote for which I featured some of her works, along with a link to her site.
So yes, I can attest to how much is lost in these images. I’m in awe of Jay’s work and what he’s about as a person.
I want to say that poor man however he is rich in spirit. He is a painter that must search in regions so deep in his soul in order to give so much of himself to the many. What a special person he must be to selflessly do for others all the while behind close doors he is crying because he cannot share the gift of colors he gives to others. The wanting to go art basel not for himself but so he can feed and dress the poor is such a testament to his rich spirit. I wish there were more people like this in the world. If it were within my power to get him to Art Basel I would give anything to do this for the poor. I do not know if he will read this but I would like to say we love you and are for you and your dream.
Thanks Tracy, very nicely said. Jay is very aware of this post, so he will likely read your comment. I hope that he makes it as well, and I can’t foresee any reason why they wouldn’t accept his works
I had goosebumps when I read this fabulous post Deborah !!!!
What a wonderfully talented man …who has used his rare condition to create truly amazing art…..
I loved ….the self portrait ….“Even when we awaken are we truly awake” and “The River of Flowing Dreams”..in particular !!!!!!
I can’t imagine what it would be like to NOT see in colour…..and yet I have always believed that..if a painting doesn’t work in grey scale then it won’t work in colour…..it has everything to do with the values…..and Jay Lonewolf Morales is obviously an expert in balancing these values….I would be curious to see these works transformed to grey scale so that we could see the work through Jay’s eyes…..
ps …thanks for the wrap Deborah…..you’re sooooo kind
I love Jay’s self-portrait as well Kim
I love all of them, which is why I included them here. But you can see even more of his artwork on his MySpace profile which is equally as beautiful. I wish I could have included them all here, but the page would have taken forever to load, and I don’t want to distract from his own site.
You make a very valid point about balance of values in greyscale, and you’ve inspired me to transfer his self-portrait in attempt to see through his eyes.
It’s funny, I had a fair number of things I could have selected to write about today, but I was drawn to Jay’s story. Once I took the time to read about him and found his MySpace page, I knew why. I just wish I could do more, as I feel rather helpless to help him. My heart aches for his, thinking of how he feels while painting.
And as always, I’m happy to give you a plug when I can to help you as well Kim
My wish for you is that you will be able to remain doing what you love to earn your living at it and what you’re so good at, which is painting.
It is with gratitude to see my very dear friend, Jay breakthrough in his vision. He’s been the inspiration to many of those who are special and unique. I had a chance some weeks ago to write a segment about him and his work, so I will post it here for everyone to read, though it has been edited some for size..

Eclectic and Universal… The art of my very good friend, Jay Lonewolf is a journey through the colorblindness of imagination.
It only takes a moment to become inspired by the world around us. We all search endlessly for that moment where truth and art blend. We claim it right away as our moment of glory, not in the spotlight, but inside ourselves. It’s the moment where black and white fades into a picture perfect vision of the most profound color.
I travel endless hours into the heart of an abstract soul, the sublime brushstroke of his talent is uncanny. Inspiration is limitless and his vividness of mind sets no boundries to his visionary craft. This is where the mind begins to unlock and slowly unravel the deepest secrets of who we are. Exploring his work is different for everyone. Where something may seem very simple, another will interpret as complex. One may see things clearly where another will bath in the oblivion of perplexity.
Only by candle light does he obtain the sensitivity of delicate ideas, yet soon he stands before a large canvas and begins to add color to a new masterpiece. Darkness falls around Jay with little persuasion of light. A shadow may cast across the room only to take form in his colorful mind, yet upon seeing the darkness dance, his mystic eyes sees only the flicker of black and white.
His unique discoveries of self are color coded by his inner visions. The profound mysteries of his art bring many emotions to the soul. Jay is a composer of several trades previous to his breakthrough in the art world, his talent for poetic verse is enchantingly equivalent to his artisan brushstroke. But those of us who are eccentric impressionists, in many ways will bring poetry to life through music, art, writing, dancing, acting, etc….
Recently I have been given the privilege to write some poetic pieces for his work and I do so with a glad and open heart. If you are a true lover of the abstract side of the spirit, I encourage you all to view his work online or at his upcoming art shows.

You have done a fantasic job by the way on this page for him, soon as I found it I sent it directly to him so he could see this, for I wasn’t aware if he knew that this had been posted. However, I have enjoyed all of your comments. I am glad to see you are enjoying his work.
Also, if you would like to read some of my lyrical verse for the pieces he has asked me to write, feel free to do so, he and I would be honored. Though my work for his pieces will be posted for his art on his myspace page, it will be on mine as well. Please keep in touch with us. Marsha

Thanks so much for sharing Marsha, what a beautiful writing.
Yes, I found Jay’s MySpace pages, which is where I found the information to write about him here, including photos of his artwork. I contacted him as soon as I had sent this post to publish to let him know about it.
If you like, I’d be very pleased to add your poetry on Jay Lonewolf here as an update.
You are very welcome, Deborah. I am have been engrossed in your site for a couple of hours now, LOL. It’s a very nice place to escape to, I have been enjoying myself very much. Keep up the wonderful work and trust me, you will soon have many more hits on this site as I am sharing it with family and friends.
Haha, I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying yourself, and thanks for your kind words
The brain being the amazing organ that it is, tends to compensate for the loss of one of our senses in incredible ways. Blind people tend to have heightened hearing. Deaf people tend to sense minute vibrations through their skin. The blind and deaf can have an acute sense of smell.
But, it’s not just the 5 senses that get over-compensated. Sometimes it’s artistic inspirations of color, music, or the written word. Or the intellectual inspirations of mathematics or science.
This is why many “handicapped” people hate the use of that word. They don’t consider themselves to be so.
The Human brain has potentials that science is just scratching the surface of. Fortunately, Mr.Lonewolf and his mother didn’t listen to the nay-sayers. They forged ahead and never quit. Never stopping his passion. That’s what can make us all potential winners.
Remember this; Winners never quit, and quitters never win! (Words to live by)
This story has drain my eyes! I am sitting on the edge of my awe. What a wonderfully spiritual man. My god! To paint without the benefit of seeing what you are doing and to have such balance and color and execution. When I think of all the mundane things in life we complain about that in the big picture by comparison to Mr Lonewolf plight pale and carry no weight. That part where he was send home with a note tape to his head has literally kept me thinking for almost two hours. What was that teacher thinking? Gosh I do not know what I would do if that happen to my child. Jay is an inspiration and a testament to the power of positive thinking. I pray that god reads online and answers that mans dream to go to that art show. Now when I think of the poor and homeless I shall think of the angel god send them and pray for Jay Lonewolf Morales and his dream.
I’ve heard this to be true before Nitropuppy, and thanks for bringing it up. It takes a strong spirit to follow your passions despite the negativity of others, which Jay Lonewolf and his mother have had in tenfold.
And yes, very good words to live by, and an excellent reminder
Becky, you’re not alone in your sentiment. I’ve been deeply moved by Jay Lonewolf’s life story, as have countless others. He’s an inspiration to us all.
I was mortified when I learned what Jay’s teacher had done myself. Things aren’t tolerated now as they were back in those days. I had a teacher in grade school who used to throw chalk and chalk board brushes at us, and hit us with heavy 3-4 inch text books on a daily basis. Another teacher had been known to grope female students, and nothing was done about it. I once received the strap from my principal when I played a friendly and harmless prank on my teacher. Thankgawd things like that no longer occur without consequences.
I’m not one for speaking of anything referencing religion online, but I’m sure that the powers above know Jay’s desires very well. It’s my thought that he’s been blessed with his unique gift to compensate for his vision impairment.
Yesterday I took a trip to the 4FineArts Gallery where Jay Lonewolf work is being displayed. There are no words to describe the depth of his pieces. It touch me deeply. There is one piece particularly title” humanity by a thread”. I wish you had a picture of it on this site. It is hard to describe. You must go there!
Becky, you’re very fortunate to have seen his display. I haven’t found anything yet as to the location of their gallery, even on their own website, but I’m sure I could find out all the same. I’m assuming they’re in New York. I’m in western Canada, which makes it impossible for me at the time, but my heart longs to be there
I haven’t been able to find any images on 4FineArts’ website of Jay Lonewolf’s artwork, and Jay doesn’t have that painting displayed on his site either. If I’m able to get a photo of it, I will surely add it in an update.
We Believe in your dream. Stay true to it and it will come true and reward you ten fold.
[...] Jay Lonewolf Morales – Colorblind Painter Extraordinaire [...]
With all the news of war , storms and crime it good to finally read about someone making a difference in the lives of others. I guess it takes someone with a special gift to see what many fail too! Jay Lonewolf Morales is blind to color however thank god he is not blind to humanity. This weekend when I go to church I will reserve an extra strong prayer for Jay , the poor and homeless he fights for and especially for his goal to make it to that art show so he may help the unfortunate. God bless you Jay Lonewolf Morales.
Wow such great support! I plan on going down to see the work. You folks have created such curiosity. I am sure with friends like you all Jay cannot fail. Best of luck Jay Lonewolf
Thanks for your support for Jay Lonewolf, Cindy.
Matt, great to hear you’re going to the gallery, you won’t be disappointed.
What a strong body of work! I am very impressed. Good luck Jay Lonewolf.
Wow – his paintings and work are utterly amazing. He’s completely colorblind, and he’s one of the most talented artists I’ve ever seen. Now that’s saying something.
Very interesting and touching post. It’s as if he can see in color. He is very talented. I would like to see some of his paintings up close. Maybe I will eventually.
He’s one of the most amazing and talented artists I’ve ever seen as well Tay. I rate him to be one of the Masters.
What Jay does defy normal understanding of the human will. My goodness he has transformed the ignorance of a school into magnificent mind pleasing beauty. I cannot express in words how my heart hurts for that artist. Careful Deborah , you have found something that makes hearts feel deeply and tears rain. I believe this is a just world and we have a just god looking over us , and he will bless Jay Lonewolf in his quest.
“you have found something that makes hearts feel deeply and tears rain” … you are so right Shelly. There hasn’t been one person who’s left a comment that hasn’t shared the same as I see and feel.
Mere words cannot convey what a special person Jay Lonewolf is.
We enjoyed Jay last show. It had such meaning and substance. He took the time to talk to us and describe his vision. We plan on going to the Sept 8th show. His work has to be seen up close to truly understand and appreciate it’s depth.
I can well imagine how much more intense Jay’s works are to see live. The textures that he creates are also all lost when displayed like this. I have a ‘thing’ for texture and the added dimension it creates. I’ve as much as created textured walls for most of the rooms in my small home using plasters and bits of burlap etc. I can’t bear to live in a world of ‘flat’ dull color. People often comment how unique it is and how much they love it. I can well envision what Jay’s works are like using added dimensions which would really make them come alive.
What I would give to be able to go to see them for myself and to meet Jay in person … you’re very fortunate Carmen
How does he keep going? I do not know if I could paint and never see the color of what I was painting. Curiosity would get the better of me. It would break my heart. Jay Lonewolf must be the most unique painter I heard ever tell about. Is there anyone I can write to so I may get him to art basel? Does anyone know? My prayers are with you Jay Lonewolf.
Doug, Jay Lonewolf has a very difficult struggle coping with it. He’s far more more than just curious, it makes him weep, which is why he doesn’t allow people into his studio while he paints.
Perhaps try doing a search for Art Basel and that may lead you to someone to contact.
Here is the contact info for Art Basel, should anyone have any influence to help:
http://www.artbaselmiamibeach.com/go/id/dwb/
Simply unreal! His work has something that I cannot put my finger on. Maybe we should write to art basel about his work. Somebody could possibly read our letters. What do you think Deborah? By the way nice name! lol
I wish Jay Lonewolf would exhibit his work in Canada. It would be an honor to speak to someone who has taken such a negative and turned it into something so positive. Deborah it is an inspirational story. I read the copy on his myspace. What a positive influence he must be to the kids and adults alike. Your reporting of this person is very welcome news in Canada because we were tired of hearing about Bush. Please keep us informed of his struggle. We wish him well.
Wow simply speechless!!!
I remember reading about color blind and how they only see maybe 6 or 7 colors. This is unbelievable. He cannot see color at all. Can you imagine his day to day life and what he must go through. The thing about him not seeing his work the way others do is mind boggling. This is an amazing story and it needs to be told. Has he been on the tele? My goodness his story is inspiring. Where do you find these people to write about? Jay Lonewolf Morales is going to become one of the masters to watch in the future. I am going to collect everything I can about him. Does anyone know where I can get more material on him?
Deborah, Jay Lonewolf does have a good friend that acts as his promoter, but it probably couldn’t hurt if they began receiving requests and support for him from all different angles as well. Yes, great name BTW
Richard, I’m from Canada as well. I’d be ecstatic if they held an exhibit here, the odds of me being able to attend would be that much greater!
You bet, I’ll be having periodic updates for Jay as I receive more from them in the future. I’ve already received one email from Jay with a photo. Once I have enough to make for an update post, you’ll definitely see it here!
Jay certainly has that effect on all of us Lis
Yes Nethaniel, watch the video and you’ll see the report from a news cast on him, and there’s a link for another one as well with the Miami Herald.
‘Where do I find people to write about?’ … I spend numerous hours daily in search of news or information
The only things I’ve been able to find about Jay Lonewolf so far are right here in this post for videos and his MySpace profile.
The work is extraordinary and the story is inspirational. Seldom do we get a chance to follow the life of someone so special. Thank you Deborah for bringing this artist to our attention.
Thanks Lonney, and you’re very right about Jay
I view the web site and really enjoyed DNA Body Fusion. That is an interesting painting. Deborah I wrote a letter to Art Basel on the site you posted. Maybe someone will hopefully read my letter and help Jay. He is not just an artist he is a humanitarian.
How does he do it? He is incredible. Next Month we will be flying into Miami Florida. I will be taking my family to see this exhibit.
Bill, the DNA artwork certainly is unique, and thanks so much for writing to Art Basel
One would think that any kind of positive input with request for artists would at least receive some consideration. The more that they hear about Jay Lonewolf, the more it will help to confirm that there’s a great interest in the artist and that he must have something of great value to receive so much attention.
Brad, great to hear you’re going to see Jay’s work while you’re there. I don’t think it will be an experience you’ll soon forget
I went to the myspace. Jay Lonewolf Morales has to be here for a special reason. God Bless him.
Very outstanding work. It moves me.
It is so wonderful to see someone use their gift for others. One of the important things I learned from Mom and Dad was to help others when I can. Jay Lonewolf gives back to society and that speaks much about him.
Jorge, Jay’s MySpace page is much more telling in what he’s about than I was ever able to capture here, glad you checked it out
Vey much so Donna
Thanks Anna, Jay is most definitely a giving person. DO check out his MySpace page if you have the opportunity
Fascinating story! I was moved by the humanity.
I JUST ATTENDED ANOTHER SHOW FOR JAY ON SEPTEMBER 8TH. HE HAD TELEMUNDO THERE COVERING HIM AT THE SHOW. THE PAINTINGS THAT HE HAD WERE UNBELIEVABLE. PEOPLE WERE ASKING HIM QUESTION AFTER QUESTION ABOUT HIS WORK. I WILL CONTINUE TO GO TO THE GALLERY AS I CANNOT GET ENOUGH. I FINALLY PURCHASED ONE OF HIS PAINTINGS AS I KNOW IT WILL BE A FUTURE INVESTMENT.
Jays art is absolutely breathtaking! This past weekend I came across his work at 4 Fine Arts gallery in the design district, and honestly my attention was drawn by the television crew filming inside the gallery. Walking in, this rather large gentleman found me admiring several paitings and introduced himself as Jay Lonewolf, the artist of whos work I was standing infront of. We spoke for at least a good ten minutes, then hearing his story i was sincerely moved. For a human being to create such vibrant moving pieces and have no conception of color is remarkable. How an individual can be so emotional with the colors he cant even see.. simply moves me. His story is truly captivating and in my own opinion, is a true magician who takes darkness and creates a colorburst of reality.
wow….. Jay is truly an inspiration… Im definitely checking out his MySpace and other sites… stumbled the post Deb… you’ve really done a wonder with this post too
as usual, great job..
Very moving and uplifting.
No words to really express the energy in his work. What a gift.

Thanks Frederick
Don, you’re very fortunate. You’ll have countless years of pleasure from owning one of his paintings. I’m curious to know which one you purchased
Esteban, no matter how many times I look at Jay’s work, I’m completely in awe of his talent. How I wish I could see it live to see its true beauty and textures of paints etc.
Thanks Pearl
It really is worth the time to visit his pages.
His story truly is Curtis
I agree Maria
I finally took a look at the work. All I could say is what type of man is Jay Lonewolf Morales who does not give to himself but is willing to give all for the homeless? I did not think people like that were still around.
This is a special story with a special message. I am so glad I came across this story. It has given me something to think about when I complain about the trivial. My family wish you the best Jay Lonewolf Morales.
It is so sad to read that Jay cannot enjoy his work as others do. It is like making cakes for everyone and you cannot taste them. What an incredible person he must be. I believe god made it so for a reason. Maybe this was a lesson for humanity.
Wow great story,interesting pieces.
Such a touching story. I just want to hug Jay. We can see his work but he cannot. It’s so romantic in a strange way.
I went through Jay Lonewolf Morales site on myspace. That painting Passage to another realm, is something I cannot put in words. I simply love it.
Curiosity got the better of me. I went to Jay Lonewolf myspace. It is really a heart wrenching story. Some of his work really shows his suffering. A true modern day master!
Amazing story and breathtaking work.
Why is it the people with special gifts suffer so much? I was not expecting such a pleasant surprise. Jay work has so much meaning and speaks so deeply. One day I shall take the trip to Miami to view his exhibit with my family.
The story and art are compelling.
My friends and I took in one of Jay Lonewolf exhibits at the 4finearts gallery in Miami Florida. There are no words! He spoke to us for a moment because he was being covered by the media and could not speak for long. What a nice human being. We wished him all the best. It was an exhibit that needs to be seen live.
Very cool stuff
Your story about Jay Lonewolf was compelling. I know Jay personally and know he would be pleased with the end result. I also read the story about Jay on Miamiartzine.com it aswell held me to the words. His work is truth in many forms. It speaks to society in special ways. Good Luck with all your showings Jay…
I haven’t said much in reply recently, as anything I’d be saying would be redundant. But I appreciate all of your comments and recognition of Jay’s special gift
Alven, so nice to see a friend of Jay’s here
Thanks for the info on the write-up, I’ll check it out.
Very pleasing work!
[...] one of the tools that is of utmost importance to achieving success. Confidence is nothing but the way we train ourselves to think. I read somewhere these lines from Charlie Chaplin, that I had copied and kept and this is the best [...]
I agree! That color blind painter has a quality that has risen from some where and has pushed him to where he has turned a negative to this strong positive. We commend you Jay Lonewolf and pray you always stay the course!
May the creator bless you my brother under the Sun. Keep that path of a Warrior strong. You may not see colors but you see the love of the cloud dancers. Earth Mother smiles upon you. May the creator keep your path always just Jay Lonewolf. We love you. CrowFeather
Wonderful story with lots of different directions.
Very strong work. It has a very human quality that speaks of humanity. Excellent work to collect.
You have a very pleasing style.
I caught Jay’s work in an exhibition during Art Basel. It is something that must be seen in person. Speaking to Jay for a moment was an uplifting experience.
Jay is an amazing person, Richard. I’m glad you got to meet him in person
I read Mr Jay Lonewolf story. I yahoo and google Jay Lonewolf, what an experience reading about this man. I wonder if he truly has an idea of the impact his work and story has on people. A true master.
The story and the art are very heart warming.
I do not think I have ever heard of someone who could paint that well without seeing colors. That is some gift! I read some stuff on Jay Lonewolf site that helped me understand a bit more about what drives him. This is a great human interest story.
The work is something I cannot get out of my mind. The fact that he cannot see the colors. That is nothing less then amazing!
I see so much pain in his work.
Enjoyed the visit. Hope to one day catch one of his shows.
Me gusta el travajo!
There is so much heart in his work. I would like to one day see Jay Lonewolf work live.
I went over to Jay Lonewolf web page. There was so much I learned about that artist. He really seems to love what he is doing.
I agree Jenny. Did you look at how many people have visited his site. That is amazing! I ran across Jay Lonewolf name when I was googling color blind artist.
Sometimes someone special comes along and we seldom take notice.
I am happy to see you are on point Deborah. Jay seems to be that one of a kind story that has allot of human interest. Best of luck to him. We will pray for his health. I read his blog. His daughter seems to really love her father and needs him. I know what it feels to lose you dad. Gina IronWords we will pray for you as well and the recovery of your father.
My friend and client Jay Lonewolf has always stepped out of himself when he is creating something from his dreams. Every time I visit his studio there is something new he has to show me. When he got a heart attack on April 27th my heart stopped for a moment. I am so happy he is doing better. Your always in my prayer’s Jay.
Wow,I did not hear about Jay Lonewolf heart attack. he seems so young. You never know about these things. You could be healthy one day and fall the next. He is such a talented man who deserves to live longer.
We wish Jay Lonewolf a smooth recovery.
We went to one of his shows in Miami Beach. He was such a heart warming person to speak too.
I always knew you were going to make it as an artist. It has been twenty years since we have spoken. Good luck Jay.
Alley, thanks so much for stopping by, I had no knowledge that Jay had suffered a recent heart attack. But I’m very relieved to hear that he is recovering. He will be in my prayers as well.
I am sorry to hear about Jay Lonewolf. Is there any update on his condition?
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jay Lonewolf. We read what you do for kids and animals. We need more people like you in this world. Maybe there wouldn’t be time for War if we all went to the gallery.
We are sadden to hear Jay Lonewolf is not doing well. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jay.
Does anyone know what Jay Lonewolf suffers from? There are so many rumors flying around the internet. I would really like to know. I knew Jay 29 years ago when we attended the same college. He was such a joy and creative being who had the ability to make you feel very wanted and needed in this world. He has helped me out of many jams in the past. One day I would like to do something very special to show him I have never forgotten his selflessness. I miss you Jay.
If you read this Jay Please get in contact with me. I still live in the same home. It would be great to hear from you once again. Doris
Get well Jay! Society needs artist like you who do not care about the money. It has always been important to the art world when one does it for the pure love of it! We are with you. Please get well very soon.
As a Native American I feel deeply for my native brother Jay Lonewolf. He does an outstanding job representing the Native nation and humanity. It seems that this is the case with all good people. They must suffer for their cause. I will ask creator to bless you my brother. We need more Natives like you to represent all that is good about our culture.
We are avid art supporters and it saddens us to hear Jay Lonewolf health is poor. Last June we went to America. While there one of our stops was Miami Florida. We took in a gallery showing by Jay Lonewolf. My husband purchase two of his pieces. They are displayed in our study where they have given both of us much joy. We will have you in our well wishes Jay.
I support the arts as well. Jay is a special artist that deserves our support.
Hang in there Jay. It will get better.
I know things get tough sometimes, but know that we are with you Jay.
It is heart felt how people stand behind an artist. My best wishes to the artist.
We will be talking to the man upstairs on your behalf. Keep the faith.
Very cool!
Espero que estes mejor Jay Lonewolf.
very strong stuff!
God is good. Have faith my brother.
Creators blessing my native brother. We will be asking creator to send you his blessing in the sweat lodge today.
My good friend Jay Lonewolf has been recovering and doing much better. Although he is not able to paint at this moment he will be able to do so in the future. We thank you for all the well wishes.
A compelling story that begs a follow up. How is Jay and what is he upto? Great coverage Deborah!
Never give up brother. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.
It is a cold world out there and I am glad you were able to make a dent in it. The world needs more artist like you.
We miss you Jay at the gallery.
Thanks so much Kate
There actually is a follow-up article in the works. Unforeseen circumstances have put a delay on it, but it will be coming soon, with a telephone interview that I had with Jay.
That was the last that I had spoken directly to him. He sounded tired even then, but it was also quite late at night. All that I currently know of Jay’s health so far is what has been written here. But from the sounds of things, it appears that he’s on the road to recovery, which is very fortunate.
get better my friend we all miss you.
Great job Deborah. I cannot wait to read the follow up. My brother attempted to get an interview with Jay Lonewolf for his paper. He wasn’t granting any. My brother said he was almost impossible to speak to. His people seem to protect him so much from the media. Maybe it’s Jay health. Anyway great job Deb. You seem to be the only one who has gotten through.
I was reading about Mr Lonewolf on other sites. He is a very fascinating man.
We cannot wait for your next show Jay. Last year we attended one of your shows in Coral Gables. Get well real soon.
Thanks Rosey. Jay had informed me that mine was the one and final interview for which he would do that was recorded. It would seem that he meant what he had said, rather than being a fleeting turmoil over the issue.
I have exchanged many emails with Jay, as well as several phone calls. I can attest that he is all that he appears, and far more … a gentle, loving person with amazing creative skills, who has an overflowing and generous heart for the poor, homeless, and for animals.
Jay’s intense spirit emanates from him with great magnitude, as you can clearly see from the responses here. He is a very special soul with a gift in more ways than just his artwork. I can very well understand why those around him would want to protect him.
It is so cool how people always find the special ones and share them with the world. You are lucky or blessed Deborah. You seem to have good instincts.I look forward to your one of a kind one on one with Jay. Will you be uploading the entire interview? That would be something. Best of luck to you.
This story touched me. He is really well loved. I look forward to your follow up story. Love Jay’s pieces.
It is not hard to see you are the seed mother earth planted so humanity could be enrich by the fruits you bare. Best wishes Jay Lonewolf
Fascinating simply fascinating!
It is difficult to put into words but Jay’s work seems to touch something inside that has yet to be touch. I look forward to reading the new article on Jay Deborah.
What a gift my Native brother. Creator has blessed you.
Your pieces are unique in many ways I cannot put in words.
May you get well soon.
It is always a blessing when one shares so much of themselves with society. Thank you for all the fond moments Jay.
AMAZING simply AMAZING!
Forgot to ask, Deborah when is Jay Lonewolf next show? I would love to fly down with my family to take it in. He is Historic. Do you know if something happens to him god forbid , according to what I have read a painter that cannot see color at all comes around every few hundred years. I read about color blind painters however he is not color blind. He was born without cones and has damage stems as I read. That does not happen to a painter but every few hundred years. AMAZING! According to what I have read you and Jay are friends. Do you think he would allow me to take a photo with him? It would be like taking a photo with history. My family and I are excited about planning a trip to Florida to take in a historic show with a painter with special qualities that is still living. I read you have another article with Jay Lonewolf. Will you have an updated list on his future showings?
This is very interesting work. The other day I came across this site and was fascinated with the story of this painter. There are few moments in the art world, I mean true moments. This is one of them for me. I live close to Miami beach and am looking forward to attending one of Jay Lonewolf exhibits. Thank you for bringing this to our attention Deborah. A fine story.
My best friend James Harter attended one of Jay Lonewolf exhibits last year. He explained that he had a conversation in length with Mr Lonewolf. He felt as if Jay was truly speaking only to him. There was a sense of this personal touch that was in the conversation that made my friend truly feel that Jay Lonewolf was his friend and paid attention to everything he had to say and responded as if he were giving advice to a brother. Those are the personal touches that set real people apart as oppose to someone who simply wants something from you. In an artist case for you to buy their art. James tells me it seemed as though art was the furthest thing from Mr Lonewolf mind. That is a sign of someone true to humanity. I cannot afford Jay’s lovely art but if I could I would truly invest in a piece for the future. The artist creates the art but the soul projects the man. Get well Jay Lonewolf. We miss you in the art world.
I remember when I was a young girl and my father took me to a gallery for the very first time. The work seem to speak to me. Two years ago I attended a gallery show Where Jay Lonewolf way displaying. That very same feeling seem to over take me in a much stronger and more emotional way. My father passed away 5 years ago. He was an art lover. He would have truly loved Jay Lonewolf uniqueness. That show brought a smile and tears to my eyes because of the wonderful art work and the splendid memories.
Simply breath taking!
Jay’s work is very important. It speaks allot to adversity.
I have known Jay for ten years. It makes me very happy that he is finally receiving the recognition he deserves. Keep it up my friend. God id good!
Does Jay Lonewolf do shows in Canada Deborah?
My wife and I would like to attend one of his exhibits.
Thank you for telling me about this painter Stan. I will go with your family if invited. His work is something I have to see in person. My best to your family.
Yesterday I caught the TV interview on Jay Lonewolf on cable TV. It was very interesting. He really does give half his money to the poor. President BUSH could learn allot from Jay’s example. I bet it would go a long way to showing good will to the rest of the world. Maybe Bush people can clue him in on the concept of GOOD WILL!!!!!!!!!!
Very Impressive work!
Stan, as far as I’m aware, Jay has never had an exhibition in Canada. He asked me to try to help him by connecting him with an agent or broker who could bring his work into the country.
After countless hours of research, I was able to find 2 major art associations, and contacted them on his behalf. I received a reply from one of them who asked me for Jay’s profile, so I sent him to his MySpace site, and gave him Jay’s direct contact info. He never did receive any contact from them.
So if anyone has any connections to help Jay get that off the ground to come to Canada, please contact me here, either by comments, or by email which is located on the contacts page at the top of every article here on this blog.
There is this sobering feeling that comes over me when I study Jay’s work. It has the strangest effect on me.
My wife keeps bothering me about going to Jay’s gallery show. Deborah do you know if Jay Lonewolf has plans to come to Canada. I really do not want to travel to the united states.
I really love the black and white piece comparing with the color. That is so informative. Great job!
Alex, please see my last comment above to answer your question, thanks.
Lonny, the black and white image was created so that others could better image what it must be like for Jay to live in a world without color.
What a way to express what is in you. Great stuff!
“What it must be like for Jay to live in a world with out color!” very heart felt Deborah! It seems you truly know the heart and soul of Jay Lonewolf. It is one thing when you simply write a story. But when you write feeling the tears of another being that is something that cannot be put in words. Outstanding Job!!!
It is really a remarkable story. What someone does to even the odds in life is nothing less then amazing. What Jay Lonewolf has done is create tools to work with where there were none. You have my admiration for a job well done.
That painter is nothing short of a miracle.
What a cool way to spend your time. Imagine bringing a smile to others! Really great work!
Markus, thank you, but to be honest, I did not know Jay before writing this article. It wasn’t until after I had notified him that we began to get to know one another. I attempted to place myself in his shoes, and to try to assist the rest of us to realize what life must be like for him.
Georgina, this is actually not something that Jay does to spend time, but a lifestyle for him. His art is his need to express himself, something which I can relate to entirely as a creative person myself. If you don’t express yourself creatively, you feel like you’re going to burst. Much of Jay’s artwork actually stems from his dreams, as he puts them to canvas.
First I would like to say that no me and Deborah are not twinsssss! lol
Jay’s has something special. Something moved me while reading his story. Other then the obvious Tears! , There is something I read on his website that would not allow to release him from my mind. I pray god never takes that away. Great story and thank you for sharing it Deborah and by the way great name…
Too funny Deborah
But yes, Jay has an amazing spirit, and he’s a very spiritual person. He had much the same effect on me from the very beginning. I’ve been brought to tears just reading what I’ve written myself … not for what I’ve published as text, just his entire being. He has a very genuine, pure, and kind soul.
We are so very proud of you Jay. You have helped us so much. You are always in our prayers. I cannot believe so many years have past since we were in high school together.
Your work good. Maybe you go to my country Russia.
Very nice work
Please come to Canada Mr Lonewolf.
Very nice work.
Breath taking simply breath taking!
You give us much pride. As a Native American my spirit is filled with much joy to see a Native brother get so much positive attention. Maybe this is what is needed! Focusing our attention on something very creative that comes from a gentile soul. There is too much attention being paid to conflicts that may have been solved if both sides would simply speak with their hearts and not their egos! I wish only love and peace to the world and if I may quote Jay’s web site “Art is the true defender of PEACE.
This is a wonderfully told story.
Enjoyed the story
Your work has so much to say. It lets me know there is something out there worth fighting for! I don’t mean a war, it is creative peace. The kind of peace that could only be found in a painting someone creates that is at total peace. Thank you for the experience.
Very deep work
We invested in one of Jay’s pieces two years ago. I regret we did not purchase the other one that went with the series. We enjoy studying the piece and finding mew things every day. Our prayers are with Jay and his family.
I remember when I dated Jay Lonewolf 33 years ago. Back then I told him he would make it and look at him now. He has always been a really nice person to be around. His is an understanding nature for all things. May his journey bring somethings very much needed in this world “PEACE”.
A really heart warming story that helps us understand Jay’s condition and his work.
Me gusta mucho el travajo!
Very very nice work!
What a testament to human success. There is always that little spark inside someone that makes them go further then they have ever gone.
Great work!
Work nice and me enjoy colors
What an interesting artist! I really enjoyed the story.
Your stuff rockzzzzzzzzz!
Not only is Jay a wonderful and talented artist but he is very open to communicate with others… Being friendly and available.. I have only just met him through My Space when he added me as a friend.. and I feel very blessed to know him!! I came here to learn more about him.. Thank you for writing such an expressive post about his life and the passion of his soul displayed for us to see .. Now I feel extra special to have met him!!
That story of Jay Lonewolf brought me to tears. We are on our way to church so I shall say an extra meaningful prayer for Jay. God Bless!
You make our Native American people proud to know you are one of us Mr Lonewolf. Creator has a plan for you. It shall unfold in the years to come. May the Creator always walk by your side.
With all due respect River with a Smile, You have to read on into his story in the Miami Herald. Jay Lonewolf is one of my people as well. I am Jewish! lol I knew what you meant.
We are proud of him as well and wish him the best. God made him mixed so others will understand we are all the same.
Enjoyed the story!
The other day I came across this story. It sparked my interest so I yahoo Jay Lonewolf and found many interesting stories about him. It is unconceivable to imagine someone painting with such vivid colors and yet cannot understand color as we know it. Do you know that Jay’s work is historic at the very least. I would love to read a follow up on this story. Does anyone know if he is exhibiting in Canada? I would love to photograph his work live!
My dear friend Jay’s work is a testament to his spirituality. He really does care about others and what they have to say. There are very few true people in this world. I am very proud to say my friend is one of the truest.
I have always been a fan of Jay’s art. I like Gus would like to know if Jay is coming to Canada.
I totally enjoyed this site. Great story!
There is something in the eyes of the black and white painting of Jay Lonewolf displayed on your site. They seem to be holding back so much pain. I wonder what it must be like to see the world through his eyes knowing nothing will ever change.
He is truly a fascinating person. I would love to sit across the table from him. There are so many questions I would ask about his life that would shed allot of light on the unique way his eyes look in that picture.
Very very nice…
I cannot believe this story. Great Job!
I found this page by accident and now I am very happy I did. This is a wonderful story and deserves much more coverage.
Un Pintor Plastico!
This story proves that no one should be over looked because of handicap!
I cannot help but to come back and visit Jay’s work. It always seems to strike something new in me.
The story has substance and gives a good picture of the life and struggles of the artist.
Me gusta mucho el travajo!
Este pintor es plastico!
Very thought provoking!
This work shows remnants of perhaps a past life.
There is such solitude in the piece (In The Eye of the Creator).
It is as though that being sought tranquility in a place very few seek. In that place the being finds the very meaning of peace and is caught by the moment never to forget that inner place he found.
What a moving statement David! I felt similar only in a more traditional sense of today in the real now!
I understand Jay Lonewolf dream came true. He is booked for Art Basel. May God continue to bless him.
The art is like music in color tones.
On Friday I went to one of Jay Lonewolf exhibit. We were told he could not make it because he was recovering from illness. It was a very well curated exhibit. My compliments to Ms Clara Zellmen for a wonderfully enlightening show.
It is not to often a spectacle like this comes along.
This teaches us something about human nature and the will to succeed.
There is a charm to having such a compelling story to go along with the work. It almost reads like something that should be made into a movie! There is an idea that would make a world of sense.
It is interesting to read about a painter with such a diverse background. It adds flavor to an otherwise very good story.
Does anyone know if Jay is single? He is cute! Love the paintings.
David, that is one of my all-time favorite pieces of Jay’s
My apologies all around, as I have been unable to reply to comments, having just undergone surgery last Tuesday. Your comments are all wonderful, and Jay is most definitely deserving of all of them
That is a good question Jillian, is Jay single?????
I have been going to his site three times a day for inspiration.
I’ll flip a coin for him Jillian! lol
Very amazing work!
I really love the painting “Even when we awaken are we truly awake”.
That is so thought provoking! The being looking into this room and finding himself lost in amazement.
What a soothing story. It has so many avenues to follow and each one takes you to a very good place inside.
I really like the way the story was done. The painter is very talented.
Jay’s has created a great marriage of colors.
Free flowing forms that have something to say.
Very well displayed and good story.
Do the impossible today so tomorrow will be easy! Great story and tremendous work…
My god I love the Crucible! That is a great painting. I could feel the beings in that piece in conflict. Thank you so much Maarit for telling me about this site.
This story has allot of human interest. There should be a follow up. I put this story on my favorites. Great job!
Muy bien, un pintor plastico.
My good friend Jay Lonewolf always takes himself to another level. He has always been a consummate professional who gives others less fortunate generously of his time and money. We are all very proud of his efforts for humanity.
I could not stop crying when I read this story. Is there an update story on Jay?
Nine very nice!
What a way to spend your life! This is great reading.
This is a strange world we live in. One day the world is at war and the next day someone like this painter brings blessings to the world. Why can’t it just be art and peace…
Que chulo! Me gusta mucho el travajo. Eres un artista plastico.
That stuff is fresh…..
I have a signed piece of folk art work which looks very similar to Jay’s style. I know it was created by a color blind man in Florida.
Who would I contact to find out if this is Jay’s work?
Thanks.
Jill
Hi Jill, Contact Jay direct on his myspace page. Jay is a friend of mine. In the past he has been contacted about one of his earlier pieces which he authenticated for the lady. She paid 500.00 dollars and the same piece which was ten years old was appraise at ten thousand dollars. I hope this helps you.
This work is crazy in a good way. Good luck to the artist.
Jill I am very interested in that Lonewolf piece. Are you interested in selling? Great site and story.
There is so much I take from looking and studying Jay’s work. Simply refreshing!!!
I see your still going strong with your work Jay. It is always a pleasure to see your stuff online. God Bless my Brother…
I luv it!
This is so touching on many levels. I looked at Jay’s web site and found it was equally moving.
Wow! There is so much emotion in the subjects in his work. That is something lacking in much of today art.
Are you planning on going to my country Spain. We have a great appreciation for the arts. Your ideas are well received on this site.
Is Jay Lonewolf coming to Canada? We would like to take in one of his exhibits.
Does anyone know if Jay has an exhibit in Canada? I am very curious to see the work live!
It is always exciting discovering new artist online. Great work!
Jay Lonewolf is a friend of mine who has always sought to preserve his dreams through his art. In the last ten years he has manage to garner the attention of the world through his work. I wish him the very best…,
Jay has come on to his own in the last few years. I am proud to call him my friend.
I have much appreciation for Jay’s work. He brings something different to the art scene.
Hot! Very hot!
Very deep work! I really can relate to the paintings.
Really enjoyed this site!
That is so cool!
My friends suggested I look at this site. I was not disappointed. This is a well written story about a very talented and special person. I will tell my friends about this site.
It is hard to read this story without getting emotional. Maybe that was the writers intention. My mother use to take me to a gallery in Park Slope in Brooklyn New York. It was one of the greatest times I had with my mother. She would of loved this artist exhibition.
Very meaningful art!
This is a story of over coming the odds and creating something special. Kudos to the writer!
I love it.
Remarkable story!
Este travajo es muy fuerte!
Jay’s work reminds me of art created in the past when artist had a free spirited method of expressing themselves. These days much of that is gone in the art world. I really miss those days.
I will not soon forget my visit here! The art is so in touch with the soul.
Wow! Good luck jay
Nicely told story! Very good artist.
My brother told me about this site. It was a pleasant surprise.
The other day I glace at this page. I am glad I came back to read the story. What it must feel like to reach so far inside and be able to paint it! I hope my kids take up art and stick to it.
Yesterday I wrote to Jay Lonewolf and was surprised that within three hours he responded. He is very open to the public and has a warm side which you know moments into reading his response. I am proud to now call him my friend.
Jay’s work brings something different to art. “Even when we are awaken are we truly awake”, that painting has so many different angles of study. I shall come back to this site more often. Great Job!
Is Jay Lonewolf a Democrat or Republican? Does anyone know? That is something that may be important to know with all the craziness going on in the United States.
My friends told me about this site and gave it a good review. They were not mistaken. I enjoyed my visit and plan on coming back every time I need my art fix for the day.
There is something to be found in this artist work. A message lingering after the fact. Very interesting pieces!
Art season has opened. Does anyone know if Jay Lonewolf is coming to Canada? There are many venues where he can exhibit.
Does anyone know if Jay uses oil paint?
Way to go! It is always great when someone has this much support. I really like the art.
Me gusta mucho el trvajo!
This work is really an eye full. Jay has such an imagination for the strange.
The painting title (In the eye of the Creator) just grabs me and it does not let me go. There is something in that painting that makes me feel warm inside. The composition is done very well.
Te vi las obras en migente.com , Me gusta mucho las obras de Jay Lonewolf.
I ran a complete search on Jay Lonewolf using dogpile search engine. There is a great piece on him by the tribes. A tribute piece. You have to check it out. Jay dedicated an ancient prayer he has been keeping which was handed down for generations to his family. That was great that Jay decided to share it with the tribes. You have to read that story. This is a great page as well and the story is very heart warming.
Thanks Fernando, that was a great tribute done for that painter. Did you see Jay’s new video on youtube and there is another on his web site.
Congratulations on your one man show opening in The Flores gallery this Friday September 26th in Miami Beach. We plan on attending. I caught the press release last night. We wish you the very best of luck Mr Jay Lonewolf.
My husband and I caught your show at the Flores Gallery in Miami during vacation. It was much more then we expected. Your new work is very thought provoking. Best of luck to you.
We went to Jay Lonewolf show in Miami. It was amazing! Jay curated the exhibit himself. Each piece had a unique story from the dream he created. There was a magic in the air. The band playing was an experimental group of players who joined for the night to support Jay’s show. The two pieces which impacted me personally were The Dominoe Effect and Humanity by a Thread. We were so glad we made the exhibit a must do! I hope one day Jay Lonewolf can come to Canada as we live in that great country and cannot stay in Florida long. What a shame vacations are never long enough!
Cindy I went to Jay’s myspace page. There are 40 pictures posted about the exhibit at the Flores gallery. I agree with your choice in paintings. Thank you for informing me about the exhibit Cindy.
It is hard to understand how you are able to paint. Someone in a higher place must be guiding your hand because it could not be your eyes. I have read the press releases and stories about you. They have left a lasting impression. God must have a really great plan for you. My prayers are with you.
I caught Jay Lonewolf internet talk show appearance on Prophecy Keepers. It was such a revealing interview. He really release such wisdom in that one hour interview. A must hear!
Yesterday I listen to the talk show Prophesy Keepers with Blue Otter. He had jay Lonewolf on as a guest along with Ten Rivers. Jay Lonewolf shared such wisdom with America and all the other counties that were listening. I understand from calling in to ask that,that internet talk show is heard in over a hundred plus countries. That is simply amazing! Jay seems to care so much about mother earth and what we are doing to her. One of his messages resonated so deeply. As a Native American I could not contain my tears when he spoke. He is a true elder. Someone with so much wisdom to share. His art is nothing shy of a miracle that keeps on giving. Creator has blessed him because he is here for a reason.
Can someone explain to me how to set the dial to listen to the prophesy keepers interview with Jay Lonewolf?
HEeya sir! Remember me? I met you in Micheals. Your art is wonderful. Did you say you were going to have an exhibit here in Miami?
Hello Jay, I do not know if you remember me. Last Saturday when you were in Barns and Noble with your lady I came up to you to sign a poster. We had it framed and it hangs in my study. Thank you for taking the time to sign it and speak to our daughter about art. It really made her weekend. Best of luck to you and have a great life.
Hello all,
Just letting everyone know that Jay has been working on a couple of special political and controversial pieces he is going to unveil at his next exhibit Oct 31, 2008. Check out the recent press release at http://www.pr.com/press-release/111581 and his feature in Miami Artzine at miamiartzine.com/vol3/issue71/marys.htm
It is an honor to be working on the Jay lonewolf team, or as we like to call it, “The Wolf Pack!”
I’ll keep you folks posted on future venues but for now, get ready for what he is bringing to Art Basel!!! Promises to be an experience that will not soon be forgotten!
Best regards,
Jorge Correa
HI EVERYBODY!
JAY’S LASTEST WORK “WALL STREET TOTEM” IS A REFLECTION OF THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CLIMATE OF THE UNITED STATES. CHECK OUT THE LINKS MENTIONED BY JORGE CORREA TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HIS NEXT EXHIBIT.
JAY LONEWOLF ONLY PERCEIVES ANOMALIES IN MOVEMENT, HE’S NEVER SEEN ANY COLOR. HE DOESN’T SEE IN BLACK, WHITE AND SHADES OF GREY, HE LIVES AND PAINTS IN DARKNESS.
WHEN HE SHARES HIS WORKS WITH US AND WE SEE THEM IN THE LIGHT, ITS HARD TO BELIEVE WHAT YOUR EYES ARE SEEING, SINCE HIS WORKS ARE AN EXPLOSION OF VIBRANT COLORS, MOVEMENT AND FEELING.
I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE UPCLOSE AND TRULY CONTEMPLATE THE WORKS OF A TRUE MASTER!
IN ANSWER TO ALL THOSE ASKING FOR HIS PRESENT HEALTH CONDITION. HE IS UP, WELL AND CREATING…GETTING BETTER EVERYDAY…
LOVE, CINDY…
A HUGE! HUG TO JAY… AND THANK YOU!!!
“Please take a moment and google and yahoo my name so you may better understand the adversity I over came in order that I may be able to open these windows from my soul and share them with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
JAY LONEWOLF.
THIS IS FOR DAM LAKOTA AND ANY OTHERS WHO WISHES TO HEAR THE INTERVIEW WITH PROPHECY KEEPERS AGAIN. HERES THE LINK, ENJOY!
http://www.prophecykeepers.com/lonewolf1.html
Really inspirational work!
Great idea setting the laptop in the health spa and allowing us to comment. I listen carefully to Jay Lonewolf interview on Prophecy Keepers. It was very insightful! It is a must listen to! Cindy please share with us about Jay Lonewolf. You appear to have inside info on him. Tell us somethings we do not know about him. I will be attending his new show at the Mario Flores gallery on the 31st.
Hi Jay, it’s Rick from Porky Gym. Your work is great. All this time we have been training in the same gym and I never knew you were a painter. I looked you up online. I still can’t believe you never mention art to me. Good luck and I will see you in the gym Monday.
I can tell you folks, he has such a relaxing environment in the studio while he works on his pieces. He’ll often take breaks in between, pick up his drum and play for a while.
One time, he put a drum in front of me and told me to follow along with him. His hands were moving so fast, i couldn’t keep up!
I was loving every minute of it until he put a cd and told me to follow along. Little did i know it would play for 2 hours straight!! My hands began to hurt about 45 minutes into it and then they went numb.
When the cd finished, my hands were pounding and i made the mistake of telling jay they hurt. So when i turned my palms over to show him, he quickly slapped my hands and numbed them all over again. He then blessed me into his drum circle…what a painful honor!
What i love about working with the “wolf pack” as we like to call it, is that every exhibit we do, we bring the drum circle along to close out the night. Those who stayed to the end at the Mario Flores gallery for last months show experienced Jay and the group jamming into the night!!! I’m looking forward to next Friday!!!

What a funny story! You are so lucky. You get to be there and be part of history.
HELLO EVERYBODY!!!
I’M A STUDENT OF JAY LONEWOLF AND I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING THIS WEEK AT THE STUDIO…
JAY IS NOT ONLY A PAINTER, HE DOES SCULPTURES, HE ALSO PLAYS THE DRUMS AND MAKES JEWELRY. IN HIS STUDIO WE’RE ALWAYS DOING A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING, WE PAINT OR SKETCH, OF COURSE ALMOST IN DARKNESS WITH SOME INDIGENOUS MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND THAT’S INPIRES US.(FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW, HE IS VERY SENSITIVE TO LIGHT, THAT’S WHY HE’S USUALLY WEARING DARK GLASSES) WE TAKE BRAKES TO PLAY SOME MUSIC, MAKE JEWELRY OR MAKE SOME COFFEE AND HAVE A NICE CONVERSATION.
THIS WEEK WE’VE BEEN GETTING READY FOR THE OCT 31 EXHIBIT, WE’VE BEEN TRIMMING AND FINISHING THE LAST TOUCHES ON HIS LATEST WORKS.
DURING BREAKS WE’VE BEEN WORKING ON SOME JEWELRY THAT WE’LL BE WEARING ON THE 31ST. (JAY HAS BOXES AND BOXES OF RARE STONES AND CRYSTALS) AND WHILE WORKING ON MY NECKLACE, AS I WAS ABOUT TO FINISH! I LET GO OF ONE SIDE AND GUESS WHAT? I HAD TO START ALL OVER AGAIN… I LEARNED MY LESSON! WHILE JAY GOT A GOOD LAUGH OUT OF IT…
TODAY WE TOOK SOME OF HIS WORKS TO THE GALLERY AND HAD SOME PIZZA AFTER THAT. JAY IS NOT ONLY AND AMAZING PAINTER BUT ABOVE ALL A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING WITH A HUGE HEART!!!
I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL COMMENTS AND PRAYERS FOR JAY… I’VE SHARED THEM WITH HIM… IT REALLY MEANS A LOT TO HIM, IT INSPIRES HIM TO KEEP ON CREATING…
I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE FOR BEING HIS STUDENT… I’LL BE SHARING MORE WITH ALL YOU…
LOVE, CINDY…
DEBORAH, I HOPE YOUR DOING BETTER AFTER YOUR SURGERY, JAY SENDS HIS BEST WISHES AND SAYS HE MISSES THE DIALOGUES…
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT…
MY EMAIL IS: CINDY.CORTES@LIVE.COM…
TAKE CARE…
It must be really great to work under a master. I bet the stories alone are worth the time you invest. It is my dream to become a known artist. I try to paint every day to improve my skills. If I could train under a master I know I could have a career as an artist. Cindy have you ever pose for Jay? If so can you post the painting? How did you become a student of Jay’s and is Jay taking on more students? I would move from Canada to the United States if he would teach me. Please tell me more about you and your teacher.
Cindy, How is it to work with Jay Lonewolf?
Does he press you to preform?
Have you learned much from him?
You never really mentioned how you met.
Do you want to trade places with me so I can learn from a master? lol
Cindy are you taking good notes from your time with Jay Lonewolf?
Are those notes something you are planning on sharing sometime in the near future? I think I could learn from them and I am sure many others can as well. I am planning on going to his next showing and hope to meet you there so we can have some girl talk and hopefully you can share some of his technique in art. I have been painting for four years and hope one day to become an artist in a gallery.
See you at the show. Juno
Nothing funny about getting your hands slapped by jay, believe me!
But on the bright side, i got to come in the next few days and copy all of his hard to find indegineous/tribal/world music on to my computer!!
My true hearts passion is in music and no better person to learn from than master Jay. Now i have the honor of being a part of his drum circle! For those who didnt know, he is also a master drummer!!
See you @ the Mario Flores Gallery on the 31st!!
Much peace and love to you all,
Jorge Correa
HI EVERYBODY!
I’M WRITING FROM JAY’S STUDIO… LITTLE DID I KNOW TODAY AS I CAME IN, THAT JAY HAD A SURPRISE FOR ME… I NOTICED THERE WAS A NEW PAINTING (STILL FRESH) BUT I HAD NO IDEA HE HAD DONE IT FOR ME… SO TODAY I OFFICIALY ACQUIRED A JAY LONEWOLF’S ORIGINAL… I FEEL HONORED!!!
SOME OF YOU HAVE ASKED ME HOW I MET JAY.
I MET JAY THROUGH HIS DAUGHTER, GINA, AND SOMEHOW ENDED UP BECOMING HIS STUDENT AND WORKING WITH HIM… UNFORTUNATELY HE ONLY TAKES IN 1 STUDENT A YEAR… SO I’LL DO MY BEST TO SHARE THE MOST I CAN… ( I MADE HIM A PROMISE NOT TO TEACH HIS TECHNIQUE)
I FEEL BLESSED FOR HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THE WOLF PACK, AS JAY CALLS IT…
HI JUNO!
I LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING YOU IN THE EXHIBIT…
AND BY THE WAY DON’T HOPE, DREAM!!!
DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!
DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!
CINDY AND I ARE WATCHING OUR DREAM MATERIALIZE RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES EVERY DAY. WE HAD MANY MOMENTS WHERE WE QUESTIONED, “WILL IT EVER HAPPEN FOR US, WERE WE REALLY MEANT TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL, OR WERE WE MEANT TO JUST BE AVERAGE AND ORDINARY?” JUST THE THOUGHT OF GIVING UP AND THEN LOOKING BACK MANY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD AND QUESTIONING, “WHAT WOULD’VE HAPPEND HAD WE JUST KEPT PLOWING FORWARD ADVERSITY AFTER ADVERSITY?”. THAT QUESTION WOULD HAVE EATEN AWAY AT ME FOR ALL ETERNITY, AND I DIDNT WANT TO KNOW HOW THAT WOULD HAVE FELT, BY GIVING UP ON MY DREAMS.
THANK GOD I NEVER ENTERTAINED THE THOUGHT BECAUSE HERE WE ARE… AND ALL WE DID WHEN IT SEEMED THAT THE WORLD WAS CONSPIRING AGAINST US AND THINGS COULDNT GET ANY WORSE, WAS TO SIMPLY JUST BELIEVE!!!
lOVE AND PEACE TO YOU ALL,
JORGE CORREA
BY THE WAY…
YOU HAVE TO TAKE MASSIVE ACTION EVERY DAY TOWARDS THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE AS WELL. BELIEVING IS THE FIRST AND MOST CRITICAL PART OF THE EQUATION, BUT DAILY ACTION BY DOING THE ACTIVITIES NECESSARY TO PROPEL YOU TOWARDS WHAT YOU WANT IS THE OTHER HALF OF THE EQUATION. I HOPE THAT HELPS AND INSPIRES SOME OF YOU.
PEACE AND LOVE,
JORGE CORREA
Jorge and Cindy are both so lucky.
They get to be there ion the beginning of something special.
There are so many questions I want to ask.
1- Jorge what does one do to get in a drum circle?
2- Jorge how long have you been playing?
3- Jorge where did you get your inspiration to play?
4- Cindy what are your future plans after you learn all you have to from Jay Lonewolf?
5- Cindy have you always wanted to become an artist?
^- Cindy what about art moves you?
I look forward to learning much from you two about Jay and what you have learned working closely with him. Best of luck to you both. Linda
HI LINDA!
I’M NOT ONLY A STUDENT FOR JAY, BUT I’M ALSO WORKING WITH HIM AS HIS SPOKES PERSON AND CURATOR. WE ARE GETTING READY FOR THE EXIBIT THIS AND NEXT MONTH, FOR ART BASEL IN DECEMBER AND A TOUR ON COME COLLEGES AND LIBRARIES… IN THE FUTURE MY DREAM IS TO EHIBIT MY WORKS NEXT TO JAY’S AND HAVE A ONE WOMEN EXHIBIT.
ALL ARTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PASSION SINCE I WAS A CHILD…I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE OF SERVICE FOR HUMANITY AND LEAVE SOMETHING MEANINGFUL BEFORE I MOVE ON…
I LOOK FOWARD HEARING FROM YOU… ARE YOU AN ARTIST YOUR SELF?
HELLO LINDA!
HOW I THINK ONE GETS IN TO A DRUM CIRCLE IS BY HAVING TRUE PASSION FLOWING FROM YOUR SPIRIT, THROUGH YOUR HANDS, AND ON TO THE DRUMS! I BELIEVE MOST OF US IN SOCIETY PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, DO A SPORT, OR WORK A CAREER LIKE PAINTING AND SIMPLY DO IT FOR THE WRONG REASONS. EITHER TO PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE OR TO FEED THEIR OWN EGO, BUT IN BOTH CASES THERE LACKS PASSION!
PASSION FOR WHAT YOU DO WILL SEPERATE WHETHER YOU WILL BE GREAT AT SOMETHING OR WHETHER YOU WILL JUST GET BY AND BE AVERAGE AND ORDINARY AT IT.
SO SEARCH DEEP WITHIN YOURSELF AND FIND WHAT MOVES YOU, WHAT PUTS A HUGE SMILE ON YOUR FACE, WHAT YOU ARE “PASSIONATE” ABOUT, AND FIND A WAY TO DO MORE OF IT BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO WHAT YOU WITH PASSION, YOU NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE!
I HAVE ONLY OFFICIALY BEEN PLAYING THE DRUMS FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH AND A HALF, BUT WITH A TEACHER LIKE JAY, I HAVE LEARNED A LOT. JAY SAYS I SOUND LIKE I’VE BEEN PLAYING FOR LONGER, BUT I THINK HE’S JUST TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED THAT I LIVE MY LIFE ON BEAT. I WALK AND MAKE BEATS, I BRUSH MY TEETH AND MAKE BEATS, WHEN I COOK I MAKE BEATS, AS IM TYPING THIS I’M MAKING A BEAT!! I ALWAYS HAVE TUNES IN MY HEAD THAT I NATURALY EXPRESS THROUGH EVERYDAY ACTIONS FROM CLOSING A DOOR TO TAKING A SIP OF WATER. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS THE MOVIE “AUGUST RUSH”.
FOR ME, MUSIC MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND AND I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT. NOW A DAY DOESNT PASS THAT I DONT PICK UP THE DRUM JAY GAVE ME. EVEN THOUGH ITS A HUMBLE WATER JUG WITH TAPE WRAPPED ALL AROUND IT, I STILL PLAY IT PROUDLY, AND MAKE IT SOUND GOOD TOO!
MUCH LOVE AND PEACE,
JORGE CORREA
Jorge that is simply amazing! I would love to hear you play. Jay Lonewolf seems to have moved you to play at another level maybe deep spiritual
I Always Say Bravo To You My Brother Jay Lonewolf, Who Would Had Guess That You Would Have Made An Impact On People, With Your Art Work Coming Out Of The Hard Streets Of New York.. Levon/D.R.E.F.
THIS NOVEMBER 28, 2008 JAY IS HAVING ANOTHER SHOW AT THE MARIO FLORES GALLERY WITH THE DRUM CIRCLE AS WELL! PLUS GET READY FOR THE PRE ART BASEL SHOWS WE HAVE COMING UP. WE ARE WORKING ON A 5,000 SQFT LOCATION, ALL THE DETAILS COMING SOON!! I WILL KEEP YOU ALL POSTED. UNTIL THEN,
PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU ALL!
JORGE CORREA
Hey Jorge/Cindy,
Haven’t seen you guys in quite some time and from what I’ve read great things are to come in regards to Jay and the “Wolf Pack”.
I am super excited to see you guys working with such a phenomenal artist & I can’t wait to witness his works in person, be sure to keep me posted Mandy~lon, as I am most definitely planning on being in attendance for December’s event…your brother from another mother.
-Keps (Shervin)
I went to the last exhibit Jay Lonewolf had. He was so friendly and approachable. I will never forget the experience of the drum circle. My heart was jumping as they played what seem like the entire night. Jay looked so untame with his hair moving in every direction as he beat the drum through the evening. How it must feel to be so spiritual! I had to leave as I was afraid of losing it and jump his bones.
HEY SHERVIN!!!
IT’S BEEN A WHILE… AS YOU CAN SEE I’VE BEEN SUPER BUSY… MOVING FOWARD!!! WITH MY TRUE CALLING…
I’M LOOKING FOWARD TO SEEING YOU IN THE NEXT EXHIBIT, MISS YOU!!! WE’LL BE TALKING … TAKE CARE!
HEY LILLIAN!
I’M GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE DRUM CIRCLE. YOU GOTTA MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXHIBIT, THIS TIME AROUND WE’RE HAVING A GROUP OF 6 ARTIST AND ALL OF THEM PLAY THE DRUMS… ITS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!
Cindy most of what I read seems like a dream. Why can’t I wake up one day to something that wonderful? It is so hard to find a teacher that really wants to teach me. Can you give me a place to turn to find one? I am almost at a place where I feel like giving it up. Please help me!
HI CELIA.
I’VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT THIS FOR 20 YEARS … UNTIL ONE DAY I WOKE UP AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE MY DREAM PRESENTED TO ME… IF I CAN GIVE YOU ANY ADVICE IT WILL BE TO DREAM!!!!!!DREAM BIG!!!! DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!! JUST BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY THE TEACHER APPEARS ( SOME ONE TOLD ME THAT A LONG TIME AGO). JAY HAS TAUGHT ME THAT THE BEST TEACHER RESIDES WITH IN YOUR SELF.
I’VE BEEN THERE (THERE’S MOMENTS WHERE I FELT LIKE GIVING UP ON MY DREAM)… BUT I ALWAYS THINK OF THIS: ” LOSERS MAKE EXCUSES, WINNER FIND A WAY”…
HOPE THIS HELPS…
TAKE CARE…
Cindy you walked in the direction of luck or destiny.
What I would not give to have walked the steps you took!
You may not think so but I believe you took a very blessed moment and ran with it and you have not stop running. My daughter has attempted art and it is heart breaking when you do not know someone in the art world. Do you have a clue how difficult it is to get someone to look at your art or even pay attention to you? Please tell me how you did it. I need to help my daughter with her dream.
JENNY:
I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE MESSAGE CINDY LEFT ABOUT DREAMING. READ IT AGAIN. THE SECRET IS TO HAVE A BIG DREAM WITHOUT SELF LIMITING THOUGHTS OR BELIEFS ABOUT HOW YOU WILL ATTAIN IT. IF YOU CAN DREAM IT, YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT!
THERE NEEDS TO BE A BURNING DESIRE TO ATTAIN THIS DREAM WITHOUT WORRYING HOW IT WILL HAPPEN. THE HOW WILL COME, AND YOU WILL RECOGNIZE IT, BUT JUST DREAM AND BELIEVE EVERY DAY WITH A PASSION AND BURNING DESIRE IN ATTAINING IT. THE QUESTION IS HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?!
IF I CAN ADVISE YOU ONE MORE THING IS TO READ A BOOK CALLED THE SECRET. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND CINDY’S LIFE AS FOR EVERY IN TERMS OF HOW WE THINK. ITS ABOUT HOW TO CREATE OUR OWN REALITY THROUGH DIRECTED THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS. IT IS A MUST READ FOR ANY PERSON SEEKING TO GET THE RESULTS THEY WANT IN THEIR LIFE. I HOPE THAT HELPS.
MUCH LOVE, PEACE AND PROSPERITY,
JORGE CORREA
Hi Cindy, Wow your sooooo lucky. Please tell me how does one get that lucky. It has been so hard for me to break into the art world. I have been looking at Jay Lonewolf art for some time. Some of his pieces bring tears to my eyes. It is almost as if some part of him lives in his work. How does his work effect you? My husband really love his self portrait pieces and Solomons mind. We live in New York one of the art centers of the world, still I cannot get someone to look at my work seriously. What did you do to get Jay to look at your work. It seems I have to strap a bomb around my naked body to get a gallery to look at my book lol!
Cindy my husband and I are going on vacation to Miami Beach next week. Could you please get Jay to look at my book. I know it is allot to ask of someone you do not know but sometimes you have to ask help from a strangers when there is little hope left.
I have been painting for 14 years and am very dedicated to what I do. My husband supports my art. My parents feel I should pursue a more attainable goal but I keep painting in the hope of someday being notice. Would you please help me?
My best to you
Amy
Hi Cindy I live in Miami. Is there a chance we could get together and talk? I would love to meet Jay Lonewolf. His work has inspired me for some time. I feel meeting the both of you would be great motivation for me. There are so many questions I would love to ask. If this is possible I would come to you.
What happen to you Cindy is very uncommon!
Things just do not normally happen that way.
Sometimes the stars are with you and everything comes together.
You are meant to do something very special because the stars seem to line up behind you. Jay Lonewolf is an old friend of mine. We useto take our sketch books and go to Prospect Park and sketch ideas all day. The secret to it all is simply to move with it and do not allow your dout to creep up. My friend is a special teacher. I was his student many years ago and now I do shows and travel.
Please send him my love and the best of luck to you.
Carla
What an amazing story Cindy!
I would love to write your story along with Jay Lonewolf.
Sometimes things happen in such a strange way and nobody really knows why. When I went to art school I had such a hard time learning all that color theory and application. Not really sure it all makes sense. When I read your post and kept reading it all made great sense. Being at the right place in time is the best chance in life however we really never know when that moment comes and how to look for it. I wish nothing but the best for you in your career in the arts. Sometimes it just happens that way!!!
There is a rumor going around that Jay Lonewolf’s apprentice, Cindy, will be hanging some of her pieces along with Jay and a handful of other talented artist in the team!
THIS EVENT WILL BE IN THE EVENING OF FRIDAY THE 28TH AND SATURDAY AFTERNOON THE 29TH OF NOVEMBER. LOOK OUT FOR MORE DETAILS COMING SOON…
AS JAY ALWAYS SAYS TO US, “JUST BELIEVE!”
Jorge, that is great I have been a fan of Cindy since I first looked at the video on youtube. Jay’s work is in another planet. As a gay man I can feel his pain in his work. Cindy and Jay are a great team. My gay friends and I are looking forward to meeting them…………………Gay Pride!!!!!!!!!!!
HI EVERYBODY!
THE LATEST PRESS RELEASE IS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED FOR JAY LONEWOLF’S NEXT EXHIBITS AT THE END OF THIS MONTH… JAY AND THE TEAM OF ARTISTS HAVE SELECTED SOME OF THEIR BEST WORK FOR THIS MONTH’S EXHIBITION.
THANKS FOR ALL THE NICE COMMENTS. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE AND HONORED FOR HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM A MASTER LIKE JAY LONEWOLF.
BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE PRESS RELEASE.
BYE! BYE!
Good for you Cindy! Sometimes doors open we do not expect or wait for. My brother has been trying to get someone to notice his work for four years. He been dreaming bout becoming an artist for 11 years. He never once gives up trying. He feels it will happen. I pray every day it happens.
Cindy I seen your video where you talk about Jay Lonewolf work.
You are very attractive. I read the press releases and cannot wait for the next show. Will you take a picture with me? I will take it with me overseas and brag to my buddies. lol
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU AT OUR NEXT SHOW! THIS TEAM OF TALENTED ARTIST ARE GOING TO AMAZE EVERYONE WITH THEIR THOUGHT PROVOKING PIECES!!
PRESS RELEASE COMING SOON!
Last night was a magical night. I enjoyed meeting and speaking to you at the reception. Jay you are so spiritual. I could not contain myself at times. The only bad thing about the evening was that you are taken! The drums were so overcoming. I called my friends and explained the experience I had. They are all coming to the next showing.
Warmest Embrace
Janet
Jay’s work is amazing. Cindy do you get nervous working with Jay? I know I would! As an artist I would always be wondering does he like my work or how can I get better to show him. My art teachers in the past would always place so much stress on me to produce. It wasn’t fun at all learning. Actually I hated going to my art classes. How is it for you?
Jay, my friends that went to John’s reception cannot stop talking about you around the office. They tell me you are a creative savage with an intellectual appeal and hair that sets on fire when you play. One of my friends told me she was tickled in places I cannot speak about playing drum with you. lol
Please may I have the honor of playing drums with you?
Last night I went on a few of your sites and could not believe the range of work you displayed. You bring something uniquely different to the art world. Please,please dance with me at the reception. I will be waring a black evening gown with a very low back line.
Until that Evening
Olivia
My wife and I enjoyed playing with you in the drum circle.
We look forward to attending another of John’s events. You guys bring something special to his event’s!
How do you find the right teacher Cindy?
I have been looking for a teacher for a long time.
What did you do to find him?
How did you get him to agree?
I really have to know.
Hi Cindy, Is there a secret to getting a teacher or important painter to really help you?
I have been going unnoticed in the art world for almost five years. Maybe you can help a sister! My work ethic is strong. I paint almost every day and cannot get a gallery to listen to me. Please Cindy a hints would be greatly appreciated as I have put so much in for so little. Sometimes it even gets so bad I want to quit!!!
However when I read your stuff it makes me believe it is possible and that is the hope I hang on to. My family does not support my dream and I find myself crying most of the time in bed. As a lady I have something to prove to myself and the world that sometimes look down at us like we are second to men painting. Anything you can help me with would be highly appreciated.
Yours Truly A Lost Artist
I went to the show in the Zoo and enjoyed myself so much.
Cindys work was magical and fun. Jay Lonewolf stuff spoke very loudly and touched me. The drum circle was so amazing. It made the night come together.
First I would love to extend both my love and appreciation to all of you whom have shown so much concern for my health and my work. Often it is not a simple task to go online and catch up with all of you as I would like to do on a day to day basis. One of my grandest joys is to communicate with you all and be able to get your input on the pieces I have created. The only reason I exist is to bring something to your world that may otherwise never visit. Sometimes it is difficult to understand why I try so hard but when I read your words I feel the comfort of your tones, they embrace me and bring a grace to my life which carry my efforts and propel me to places that I had never visited before in my soul. I want to thank you all for traveling with me on this journey and I hope one day to be worthy of your kind words.
Jay Lonewolf.
HELLO EVERYBODY!
I’M SORRY I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER TO ALL OF YOU…
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE COMMENTS.
WE’VE BEEN SO BUSY CREATING NEW WORK AND GETTING READY FOR ART BASEL!
TONIGHT I FINALLY GOT A CHANGE TO GET ONLINE, SO I HOPE I CAN ANSWER TO EVERYBODY. IF DON’T GET TO DO THAT… THEN, LITTLE BY LITTLE I’LL CATCH UP…
THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL
LOVE,
CINDY.
HELLO AMY BECKMEN, FRANCESCA, AND GRETCHEN.
YOU GUYS HAVE ASKED ME HOW I MET JAY? AND HOW DID I GET HIM TO NOTICE MY WORK AND BECOME MY TEACHER?
I REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT…
IT ALL BEGAN WITH A SERIES OF COINCIDENCES THAT UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULDN’T HAPPEN.
I MET A GUY NAMED DEVICE, WHO LEAD ME TO A GUY NAMED ABLE, WHO INTRODUCED ME TO HIS SISTER, JESSY. SHE INTRODUCED ME TO DAVID, WHO LEAD ME TO MEET DAYANA,(BY THE WAY NONE OF THEM RELATED TO THE ART WORLD) TROUGH ALL THOSE ACQUAINTANCES I MET JAY’S DAUGHTER, GINA.
WHEN I MET GINA I HAD NO IDEA SHE WAS JAY’S DAUGHTER,
SHE IS A VERY NICE GIRL, WE GOT ALONG VERY WELL WHEN WE MET AND WE TALKED AND GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER… ONE DAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OUR LONG TERM GOALS AND WHAT WE WANTED TO DO IN LIFE, AND I TOLD HER ABOUT MY PASSION FOR ART, SHE TOLD ME I HAD TO MEET HER DAD BECAUSE HE WAS A VERY WELL KNOW PAINTER.
I MET JAY IN HIS STUDIO AND LOVED HIS ART, WE HAD A VERY GOOD DIALOGUE AND I TOLD HIM ABOUT MY PASSION FOR ART… HE NEVER REALLY WANTED TO TEACH ME, BUT THANKS TO GINA, WHO KEPT INSISTING HIM ON SEEING MY WORK AND TEACHING ME, HE AGREED TO MEET AGAIN AND TAKE A LOOK AT MY WORK… IT TOOK SOME TIME AND A LOT OF CONVINCING FROM GINA’S PART FOR HIM TO AGREE TO TEACH ME…
I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE FOR BEING ABLE TO LEARN FROM HIM, AND HONORED TO BE IN THE SAME GALLERY. I GUESS I WAS JUST VERY FORTUNATE TO MEET THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT MOMENT.
SO THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED…
HELLO AMY BECKMEN
JAY’S WORK ALSO BRINGS TEARS IN MY EYES, LIKE YOU SAID, IT’S LIKE IF A PIECE OF HIM LIVES IN HIS PAINTINGS. I CAN FEEL THE DEPTH OF HIS EMOTIONS WHEN I LOOK AT THEM.
I CANNOT PROMISE YOU ANYTHING BUT IF YOU CAN COME TO ONE OF THE EXHIBITS I COULD INTRODUCE YOU TO JAY.
THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!!
LOVE,
CINDY

I PRAYED COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE I WAS LITTLE, FOR A CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING ESPECIAL, SO I CAN HELP MANY PEOPLE.
GOD HAS STRANGE WAYS TO ANSWER OUR PRAYERS, TELL YOU BROTHER TO JUST BELIEVE!
LOVE,
CINDY.
HELLO JOHNNY CRUZ.
THANKS FOR YOUR KIND WORDS, I’LL BE GLAD TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU.
TAKE CARE,
CINDY.
HI KIM!
JAY IS AN AMAZING TEACHER, I DO GET A LITTLE NERVOUS WHEN WORKING WITH HIM, BUT I LOVE THE WAY HE TEACHES… I LOVE CHALLENGES.
LOVE,
CINDY.
Great to read your words Jay’s! It has been some time since we have heard from you. I prayed for some time that God would protect you from others especially from those who would use you. When we dated almost 30 years ago you were always too kind and I thought that was your strength and fault. You always cared about others more then yourself.
I see you have a student. Does she truly know you? I was your student and girlfriend many years ago. There is so much I feel I must give back. You never wanted anything from me. That made me feel sad for some time, but in time I realize you just gave because that is who you are and maybe who defines you. When we were together I never understood that! Gwendy always understood you in a way no one could.
I am very happy for you both and would like to say you are always in my thoughts.
Wow! It is good to hear from you. Have you been ill? Sometimes Cindy would give us clues as to what you were up to but I do not know Cindy.
Have you put out new works? Where did the work come from? Is there a profound message in your work? How do you feel about having a new student? Does she help you with your work? Do you trust her with your work? I know it is very difficult for an established painter to trust a student with their work. The thought of one of my students touching my work makes my hair stand. In time I am sure eventually I will be able to trust them. I wish you the very best. You represent artist with dignity.
HI GRETCHEN!
I WOULD LIKE TO MEET YOU, WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON…
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO COME TO NEXT EXHIBIT, FRI 12/5 AND SAT 12/6, 12-10 PM .
LOVE,
CINDY.
HI RONDA!
THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT ON MY WORK.
LOVE,
CINDY.
HI RONDA!
I’M GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE EXHIBIT.
THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT ON MY WORK.
TAKE CARE
LOVE,
CINDY.
Last night I was checking out Jay’s work.
There are not works!
My dad knew Mr Lonewolf 25 years ago.
They were good friends. My dad past 12 years ago.
He use to tell me about Jay. Can you tell me somethings about Jay Cindy?
Hi Jay, I am a friend of Janet. She was telling me about you.
I really want to meet you! When is your next exhibit?
My friends tell me many good things about you. I know I shouldn’t but I spent yesterday reading as much as I could about you. The only problem was I did it during office hours. lol
Are you single?
Hi Cindy is there somewhere where I could log on to see your work?
Jay’s work has so much to say.
I would like to see some of your work.
It is important as a young artist trying to make it in the art world to see what a teacher like Mr Lonewolf has taught you.
Could you tell me some things about how he teaches? My teachers are so boring at times. It is hard for me to stay awake during his class. It is like having someone read the phone book to you.
Does Mr Lonewolf teach you things that keep you awake?
I love your work!
My husband and I have purchase one of your pieces in your show. We simply love it! Thank you for being so sweet us.
We enjoyed your last show. The painting of that nude princess hangs in our living room. My wife sometimes gets jealous of it! Thank you for the permission to post the painting on our website.
Best Regards
Almando & Sonia
That painting of that slim lady was nothing less than beautiful. As a gay women who has been use to seeing women displayed in bad taste, that nude of your friend was done in wonderful taste. She must be proud of that painting. I photographed it ten times in your last show. I love her beauty marks. The best of luck in your future shows.
Jessica
That nude was very hot. I love the way you captured the face. Lovely eyes! The next time though use a model with more meet on her bones.
Thank you for taking the time to explain your new nude series. I enjoyed talking to you about everything. I look forward to your next show.
Sandra
What do the dots on the nude model face represent or are they really beauty marks. Who is the model? When is you next gallery showing? I thought you portrayed the model in very good taste! My friends drag me to your last showing. I am very glad they did. Thank you very much for taking time to talk to me during your showing. I look forward to the next showing.
We really had a good time at the last gallery show. Thank you for inviting us. My husband hung the painting he purchase in his club. All the best to you Awilda
Very Hot nude paintings in your last show. Who was the model?
Great show! Loved the nude paintings.
Your former assistant is attractive.
She looks lovely in the nude series.
Are those really beauty marks or added?
Best of luck to your show.
I think the model you used with all the beauty marks was much too skinny for a nude study. I would love to pose for your next series.
We loved the drum circle.
The nude series was very well displayed.
It was a great show.
We enjoyed the gallery showing.
I did not understand some of the pieces but had a great time.
Thank you for the show.
Please say hello to everyone.
My wife says we must do this again sometime!
I watched the drum circle video and notice that one of the drum players looks like the model in the nude series in the gallery. Is it her?
The music was great!
We enjoyed the gallery walk. My husband still talks about the piece he purchase from the show. He displays the nude painting in our study. Every time we have someone over for dinner he uses the opportunity to brag about the piece he purchase and shows off the picture he took with you. One would think you were best of friends. lol
Thank you very much for taking the time to tell us about the painting and the lady that model for it. It was a pleasure meeting your little daughter. She is a gifted artist. I wish the two of you much luck and love from the both of us.
Linda
First I would like to express what an honor it was to get invited to Jay Lonewolf opening night gallery walk at The Gables was simply breath taking. My friends and I were talking about it in the office for a week. That drum circle was so sexual in nature. The music kept my spirit alive. I loved being invited to sit next to Jay to play by his side. The night had a deep passion blowing all over the place. I shall never forget that evening especially when Jay Lonewolf kissed my hand. If I had had one or two more drinks in me Jay would have been in trouble because I was feel funny in special places. LOL Please invite our office party again for the next opening. Jay you “O” me a dance and a kissssssssss!
Virginia
What an evening! The art,music,dance and food were all worth it.
My boyfriend was so jealous of the guys playing music. I must admit they were very hot. Why is it that guys get so insecure when they are around very talented guys? It doesn’t matter because I had a great time anyway. My sister got a little drunk! Thank god she doesn’t drive. Great show guys!
Thank you for making an appearance at the charter school to speak to the kids about art. I believe you may have steered a few of them into the art world and that would be a great thing. You are welcome anytime to come back and speak to our kids. The very best to you. Carmen
Gracias por todo! Me gusto mucho el show en la galeria.
You guys don’t just put on a gallery show you have a party with a kiss ass drum circle! We had a blast with all the crazy people. The art was in another zone. My wife fell in love with a few pieces. I personally enjoyed the nude collection and especially the stories behind them. The one and only issue I had and maybe it wasn’t an issue but I was uncomfortable for a little bit was all the security in the show. There was just too much security every where. What was that all about? After we got use to them we started to party for hours. That drum circle is insane!!! They do not hold back at all. Where did they come from? Jay Lonewolf was in another world with his drums. He brought it home for the party. Let me tell you if you love art and tribal music than show up at one of Jay Lonewolf gallery showings. You will not be disappointed.
That was a show to remember. I met a great guy there and we are dating. Security concerned for a bit but the night was great.
really good showing!
Hey man we liked the show but you had too much security.
My wife and I had a great time. The food was good and the music and art made the evening memorable. We will tell our friends about the next show. Thank you for inviting my family.
Man that is crazy. The exhibit was great but the security was scary.
I love the last show. I don’t know if you remember me but John introduce you to be after the drum circle. You were simply amazing. We are going to the next showing in three weeks. An invitation arrived at our office today and we are so ready to party.
The new pieces are nothing less then amazing.
Cousin, I love ya like a brother…it was GREAT to see you after all these years. We gotta do a better job of keeping in touch and not let another 20 yrs fly by! See you soon! ac
This was great to read, because my daughter has just been diagnosed with achromatopsia. It’s actually more prevalent than stated in your article, I believe that there are about 8500 people in the US with it. That’s still remarkably rare. On the way home from the hospital, I marveled at the wild flowers, the shades of green in the forest, the vibrantly blue sky and cried that my little girl will never see those colors. But I hope and pray she finds beauty and art in her life like Jay has.
Dielle’s last blog post..Welcome sweet one!
Dielle respectfully your mistaken about the statistics where it comes to Jay Lonewolf. As his assistant I must tell you many people are mistaken because they do not do their homework properly and tend to group him with many others for lack of knowledge. Jay was born with no cones and damage stems. The group you speak of has damage stems but on the other hand they have cones. It is nothing shy of a miracle that he can see even though his vision is very limited. Nuch of the media should be faulted for this because they use the term colorblind which is totally wrong. A colorblind person cannot see some colors but the colors they see they see them very well. Jay has never seen color in his life. Although if you watch him paint in darkness as I have you would be amazed just how fast he moves without understanding the colors he is using. That is simply amazing! I hope this helps correct the misunderstanding. I have to put in a plug for Porky’s gym as they are supplying computers for everyone to chime in…lol
Interesting story and work.
I enjoyed the last show. There were so many single ladies. It seems that single ladies love art. You can count on me attending your next show.
I love the self portrait!!!
This artist has found a place in the mind most do not visit. It is important that this work be place in a museum because of his condition, and the fact that he can actually paint with that condition. Imagine painting in complete darkness. I cannot even be in a room that is completely dark, let alone paint something so vibrant with a story. The work is very detailed considering the conditions under that it was created. God bless the artist. I completely support his freedom of speech.
Thanx for pics.
