Artist Bio
Ray enjoys tonal impressionist oil painting, the study of light, in the tradition of early Australian artists, particularly those influenced by Max Meldrum. He currently paints all genres: plein air; portraiture and still life. He aims to keep it simple and ‘painterly’.

Ray has had six successful solo shows at the VAS. He is an accomplished portraiture artist and has participated in live painting events painting prominent Melbournians. Ray’s works appear in collections in Victoria, interstate and overseas.
