Ray is an international award-winning Essex-based artist whose work is defined by extraordinary precision and attention to detail. Over time, he has perfected a distinctive hyperrealism style using soft pastels and pastel pencils, devoting countless hours to building rich layers of depth, light, and atmosphere. Rather than conforming to external expectations, Ray paints what fascinates him most, capturing not just how a subject looks, but how it felt in the moment.

Motoring themes, dynamic reflections, and dramatic plays of light and shadow sit at the heart of his work. Every piece originates from Ray’s own photography - moments sparked while exploring city streets, visiting galleries, or soaking up the thrilling energy of car shows. He transforms these personal snapshots into striking artworks that celebrate speed, design, and mechanical beauty.

As Membership Secretary for the Guild of Motoring Artists and a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, Ray’s talent is recognised worldwide. His award-winning portfolio includes taking first place in both the 2024 International Association of Pastel Societies Exhibition and the 2024 SAA Artist of the Year competition.
