Ray Fields Artist


Ray has been ''in'' Art and Design since the 50's. He is influential in several areas including the the St Ives Post War movment, Merseybeat and British animation. I am fortunate enough to be taught by him. The images here have been made with a cheap pc and a mouse. I shall be hopefully putting more up in regard to Ray.
Areas of work include: film, animation, sculpture, drawing, painting, product design, teaching and architecture.
