Running concurrently in the Sally Little Danyo Gallery will be Ray Edmison.
After graduating from the University of Colorado with a BA in Fine Art, Ray began a career as a drafter –back when pencil, ink, paper, and linen were the tools. By retirement, he had moved on to software development and training for Computer Aided Drafting and Design. Since giving up his day job, Ray has enjoyed the exploration of numerous media and techniques for creating art. The influence of engineering linework is often very obvious in his work as he experiments with texture and color.
