I’ve been in Chicago for about fourteen years. Since about 1980 my focus has been on maintaining a studio. The art I make constantly changes. I experiment a lot. Since 1995 my art has been a sort of organic abstraction. Lately I’ve been entertaining notions of figuration. A sense of beauty has always been an important element of my art making.

From the exhibition, "Ray’s Mundo";

"For this exhibition I created a small group of paintings that are first and foremost beautiful objects. Within this limitation each static object was imbued with a visual kinetic quality through the manipulation of materials and formal concerns. I found the use of simple shapes created a physical and psychological place of rest. These shapes also lessen the automatic associative tendency inherent in thought. The glue that holds the viewer is found in the tension between rest and kinesis."
