About
the Artist
Ray Spence is a digital artist based near Stratford on Avon in the
UK.
Trained as a microbiologist and a keen organic gardener, much of
his influence is drawn from natural forms. Plants, organic structures
and the human body are all recurring themes.
Ray regularly exhibits and his work is published and collected widely.
He is much in demand as a lecturer and workshop leader and is co-director
of Hands on Training UK Ltd, organising workshops in Digital Imaging.
He is the author of the book 'Form and Fantasy' and the co-author
of
'Beyond Monochrome - A Fine Art Printing Workshop'
Artist's
Statement
" I take objects from the natural world and use modern digital
technology to create a new context, sometimes based on myth but
largely on my own imagination. These images are purely a celebration
of natural forms, colours and textures".
