Ray is an Emerging Artist Member of the Copley Society. I am drawn to portraiture out of an interest in people, personality and character. I look for a compelling viewpoint that captures telling detail…it involves close study from many vantage points. When setting a pose, the placement of light is critical—a defining shaft of light, sculptural shadows, reflections in the eye— makes subjects come alive.

My approach draws from tonalism and color field. Mood, emotion and character are conveyed with subtlety, tone and key light. Working from light marks, I build up shadow shapes that define the form. A transformation from flat to sculptural form happens as light values are added. At this point, something dramatic begins to happen: the mark making starts to become a person.

I’m a self-taught painter. The themes of my paintings navigate a wide range and are nourished by natural beauty, the splendor of colors and shapes, dramatic contrasts, and the inexhaustible scenery of nature. My watercolors also include urban land-scapes, architectural details, seascapes and forest scenes. The exploration of techniques never ceases to amaze me. I think that through painting we honor all the wonders that exist in our habitat.
