About Mark Ray

Mark Ray Mark was born in Cincinnati,Ohio on July 27,1966. He grew up fishing the creeks and streams in and around Ohio as a child. Mark,like most kids got grounded for the normal childhood mishaps we all encounter, but he would put his temporary lack of freedom to good use sketching and painting anything from superhero's to the fish he would catch. Mark continued to draw and paint throughout his years in grade school. After serving a four year enlistment in the U.S. Army, Mark became a Police Officer for the Charlotte, N.C. Police Dept and then continued to serve as a Deputy Sheriff with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office for 12 years. It was while Mark was fishing the game fish rich waters off the east coast of Florida that he began sketching the fish and other ocean creatures that he had encountered.The saltwater fish that inhabited the waters intrigued Mark to the point that he wanted to put their images on paper and canvas for himself and others to enjoy. Although Mark has never had any formal art classes,he attributes his artistic ability to diligent hours of practice and some God given talent. Throughout the years Mark was photographing fish and wildlife that he would use in his paintings for his customers and his gallery. It wasn't until he relocated back to Ohio in 2016 to be closer to family and met his beautiful wife Suzanne that he got serious about photographing wildlife not only to use in his paintings but to offer directly to the public." Suzanne is an incredible photographer herself and suggested I take one of her cameras out and explore. I was instantly hooked and I havn't looked back since!"
Painting game fish will always be Marks main focus but he enjoys photographing and painting wildlife as well. Marks photographs can be seen on his photography website www.MarkTRayPhotography.com
