William Wray

William Wray: has lived in California most of his life and studied painting at the Art Students League in New York. Making his living as a cartoonist who specialized in painted subjects, he spent many years coalescing a eclectic array of art styles, ultimately finding his voice in a contemporized reflection of traditional California regional painting that focuses on humble subject matter rarely considered as fine art. He blends traditional realism and the sheer energy of abstract expressionism in an ongoing evolution to find the balance between two seemingly unrelated styles.
