"The portrait was amazing!!!  Rich's family was overjoyed as were the rest of us who came to know him.  The quality of the work you did was second to none.  Thank you for taking the time and putting forth the obvious effort to complete the day for us and provide us with something very special."
Sincerely, Jamie Hart

"Not a day goes by that I do not look at, and enjoy this portrait. This was a once in a life time expense that I would endure, and have found it to be worth every penny spent. There is not a single picture hanging in my house that I enjoy as much as I do this one. Again, after a year of enjoyment, I want to thank you for a wonderful family keep sake."
Sincerely,
Denise C. Canter

"We can not tell you how much we LOVE the portraits of Madison!  As you said, they are more beautiful in person.  Thank you for helping us to make this a most special Christmas gift and hopefully, we will have several more in the near future to order. You are the BEST deal around...that's for sure and you make it so easy. Thanks again, Jerry.  Merry Christmas to you and yours."
Judy Martelli

"I do not have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to tell you how wonderful, fabulous, perfect the portrait of our kids is.  I do not recall ever being so moved and crying so much for joy. Thank you for helping make this a fabulous fifty for me."
Sincerely, Amy Makson

Ray graduated from the College of Engineering at Auburn University. He is also a certified real property appraiser. While these areas of pursuit provided the income he needed to support his family, his heart has always been anchored in the arts.

An accomplished calligrapher and already skilled in acrylic painting, Ray is currently teaching both.

Always seeking new skills, Ray decided to explore a new medium of painting and turned to oils.  Learning the TruPaint Method was a natural extension of his continuing growth as an artist.  This portrait of his daughter was the result of his new skills using TruPaint™.

He completed the TruPaint™ Artist Training Course in September of 2006.
