Jay Unwin

Jay Unwin was born in 1958 in Victoria. In 1986, after working as a shipwright, he apprenticed in the study of stone carving at Pietro Santa, Carrara, Italy. Upon his return, Unwin's sculptures attracted much acclaim and he received commissions for sculptures to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Royal Roads University and to create a public sculpture for the Victoria Police Department. Tragically, Unwin's promising career was cut short when he died after a car crash in 1996.
