Bio and Gallery Information:
Artist Ray Phillips has always held a passion for creating art. Like many artists, Ray's artistic journey began as a young child. At age 10 he enrolled at the prestigious Houston Museum of Fine Art School now the Glassell School of Art. As an adult, Ray focused his artistic attention on graphic design and music; playing in a band at night and crafting ad campaigns, posters, t-shirts, logos and branding by day. Ray soon rose to become a partner/creative director at a design and marketing firm in Houston, Texas; yet the longing to create fine art was still present. Ray began his painting career in his free time, integrating skills and techniques he learned as a designer. His work has evolved into an amalgam of typography, abstract composition, collage/mixed media and hidden messages. Each piece is initiated in Ray's mind and translated to canvas - as much an intellectual pursuit as creative endeavor. Ray is an internationally collected artist with representation in fine art galleries in Vail, Aspen, Telluride, Houston, Austin and Dallas, as well as Canada and Mexico. Read more at rayphillips.com.
