About
the
Artist:
(That's
me)
Sculpting
clay
is
my
passion
which
allows
me
to
tap
into
my
imagination
and
is
a
never
ending
journey
of
discovery
and
learning.
I
am
a
self
taught
artist
and
have
been
into
many
forms
of
art
since
childhood.
I
have
always
had
the
ability
to
draw
animals
and
birds
well.
Although
only
recently
discovering
the
joy
of
sculpting
in
porcelain
clay,
as
a
child
I
sculptured
birds
and
animals
from
air
dry
clay,
for
many
years
my
artistic
abilities
were
put
on
'the
back
burner'
while
I
raised
a
family
and
worked
full
time,
only
discovering
I
still
had
my
sculpting
talent
after
buying
a
block
of
porcelain
clay
in
2005
'just
for
something
to
do'.
After
creating
a
menagerie
of
birds
and
animals
including
owls,
kookaburras,
dogs
and
ponies
my
family
convinced
me
to
buy
a
kiln,
which
I
did
and
consider
it
the
best
purchase
I
ever
made,
and
after
discovering
my
art
was
appealing
to
others
I
began
sculpting
full
time.
The
nature
of
my
work
lies
with
the
whimsical
and
the
figurative.
I
only
create
original
sculptures
so
that
each
collector
has
the
only
'one
of
its
kind'.
My
sculptures
may
follow
a
theme
but
no
two
are
ever
identical.
Nothing
pleases
me
more
than
when
I
see
someone
look
at
my
work
and
smile.
I
am
still
always
overwhelmed
by
the
fact
that
people
like
my
art
enough
to
want
to
own
it.
NB:
People
often
ask
how
to
pronounce
my
surname,
it's
pronounced
Ray
(the
e
is
silent)
