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’.
He began lessons at the Victorian Artists Society (VAS) in the late 90s having tuition from Margaret Cowling (water colour), Max Wilks, Gregory Smith, Ray Hewitt, Stephen Doyle and Ben Winspear.
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.
Ray is a fellow and signatory member of the VAS.
