Jay McClennen, AOCA, CCA, CFm
Chief Certified Clinical Anaplastologist

Jay is a highly skilled artist, problem-solver, and innovator. Starting in 1989, McClennen worked as a freelance artist with his own company, Spire Art & Design in Ontario, Canada. Much of his research during that time had been in silicone gel-filled prosthetic appliances with emphasis on natural tissue movement, achieving hyper-realistic results. 

Four years of classical education in figurative sculpture at the Ontario College of Art & Design and specialized training in forensic art have led Jay to recreate the human form in the varied, but related fields of film, forensics and medical prosthetics.

In the Hollywood film industry, Jay worked for 17 years with Gordon Smith, President of FXSmith. Smith is recognized in the film industry as an innovator in silicone prosthetic technology. The team received Emmy and Hollywood Make-up Artist Guild nominations and won Gemini and Saturn Awards.  Jay's filmography can be seen on the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB). 

With Jay's skill in forensic facial reconstruction, he provided an invaluable service to the Ontario Coroner’s Office, local law enforcement, and the rest of the Ontario community by assisting them in putting a face on unidentified human remains. Recently, he has joined a team to help put faces on identified human remains in North Carolina's leading Forensic Anthropologist, Dr. Ann Ross. 

Since 2006, Jay has concentrated on medical prosthetics, exploring new methods and materials for facial and limb prostheses while making advances in custom breast designs.  Jay headed and completed a two year clinical trial at Toronto Sunnybrook Regional Cancer Center on an innovative custom silicone breast prosthesis of his own design.  He co-authored a paper published in the Current Oncology Journal (Vol. 19, No. 2, April 2012) on his unique breast prosthesis. Jay has lectured internationally on a variety of topics demonstrating his advancements in the field.  He is an expert in osseointegrated facial prosthetics and has co-authored a paper with physicians from Duke University Medical Center on this topic which has been published in the October 2014 issue of the Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.  Jay has been given the title of Adjunct Clinical Consultant in the Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic Surgery at Duke University Medical Center.

​Jay had been an active member of the Board of Directors for the International Anaplastology Association (IAA) for eight years including serving as President of the association in 2013-2014.  He then spent seven years on the Board of Directors for the Board for Certification in Clinical Anaplastology (BCCA) and served there as President from 2020 -2022.
