About Mark Ray
Mark was born in Cincinnati,Ohio in 1966. He grew up fishing the bodies of water and exploring the woodlands in and around Ohio and the Carolina's. Mark loved drawing the fish and wildlife he would encounter and his love for producing artwork grew. Mark continued to draw and paint throughout his adolescence. After serving a four year enlistment in the U.S. Army, Mark became a Charlotte Police Officer in North Carolina and then continued to serve as a Deputy Sheriff with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office in Florida for 12 years. The fish and wildlife that inhabited the waters and the woodlands consumed Mark to the point that he wanted to paint their images for others to enjoy. After Marks law enforcement career he relocated back to Morehead City, NC where he opened a working studio and gallery on the waterfront and began painting full time and traveled to fishing tournaments and art shows in Florida and the Carolinas. Mark was the featured artist at fishing tournament events to include Charleston Harbor marina in Charleston S.C. where he got his start. His artwork was well received there and grew in popularity over the years. Painting marine wildlife is Marks first love but he also loves capturing land dwelling wildlife on paper and canvas also. Although Mark has never had any formal art class's he attributes his artistic ability to diligent hours of practice, some God given talent and his love for wildlife. Currently, Mark resides outside Cincinnati,Ohio with his wife Suzanne where he works full time as a fish and wildlife artist and photographer.
