Born in Lincolnshire, England November'59. As a teenager he fell in love with rock music, motorbikes, girls and comic book art (Marvel & DC). After a varied early career Ray was accepted as a mature student at Exeter College of Art.
He graduated in Fine Art Painting in 1984. The constant scrutiny of the naked body cultured a real appreciation of beauty but diverted the sexuality, hence the fascination for female fashion - the sensuality and gender messages evoked by what women wear and how they wear it. Clothes that

Super-sexuality! Traditional media of oil on canvas and pencil on paper but now shocking to the masses.
