Interview With Oliver Ray, Artist
By Wendy Shepherd
Feb 17, 2006, 10:43

[Wendy at Dreamish.com] I received an article submission titled "Ten Tips for Buying Art - and Getting the Best Bang for Your Buck!" on my TipzTime.com website from artist, Oliver Ray. I browsed through his online art gallery and really enjoyed his work. I wrote him to see if he would like to do an interview and share his story. He has agreed to...


[Wendy at Dreamish.com] Have you always wanted to be an artist?

[Oliver Ray] Almost my whole life. Until I was 12, I really wanted to be a cowboy (or cop), but after that, I was definitely most interested in art.


[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What other types of things do you love to do?

[Oliver Ray] Landscaping and renovations! Christie and I bought our first house two years ago. It’s a real fixer-upper but we’ve really enjoyed transforming it. Outside we’ve created different gardens and planted a variety of trees. Inside we’re in the process of enlarging my studio space…we hope to end up with a 1200 square foot open studio area with lots of light.


[Wendy at Dreamish.com] What is the funniest painting you have ever done?

[Oliver Ray] Funniest? I’m sure many critics might find my work funny, although I don’t intend it to be. In high school I used to draw caricatures of my teachers, which my friends and I found quite funny (although the teachers in question usually felt differently!)
