About Ray

It seems like most of my life, I have been surrounded by art, watched art being made, explored art or made it myself. l have had little formal art education. But what I did have, was a mother who was an artist and a father who has a great set of pipes. So I inherited the best of both worlds art and music.Growing up, what I learned to appreciate most, was the times when my mom would would do something she would call "getting out the box". Then she would proceed to try other art forms that was not in her genre or we would go to a play, a ballet, blues or jazz. She was primarily a painter in both oil and acrylics and watercolors. She painted landscapes, people, nature, animals, and scenes, just about anything she could see. But she was not afraid to work with many other mediums in other styles. Getting out of the box! It must have rubbed off. Because that is all I know how to do!
 
Artist Statement

Art For me is a never ending exploration
Of mediums either intertwined
or left on there own!

The need to create
it comes from somewhere
deep within my soul

I am creative by nature
not by choice
creativity has chosen me

Thoughts and ideas run rampant
though my head
always swirling, pushing, pulling
maybe they will stop
when I am dead!


Never happy, never satisfied
with my work
It is in the moment
that I am most exhilarated

But sometimes there is that
rare occasion
when it all comes together
striking an emotion
that crashes over me
like a wave!
