Ray Strong

Painter; Teacher

For 25 years, I have been creating custom murals and site specific paintings for restaurants, businesses, pediatric departments, Catholic churches, and private homes. My acrylic paintings on canvas are often installed directly to walls like one piece of wallpaper from corner to corner. Many of them span over 20 feet wide and 8 feet tall. My personal paintings are on traditional stretched canvas in oil, acrylic, charcoal, and printing ink. I graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 1998 where my love for fine art and illustration flourished. My deepest artistic passion is for drawing and monochromatic work because of its honest and immediate process that naturally focuses on the basics and evokes strong emotion.
