Oliver William Ray is a poet and painter with a distinctly Canadian pedigree. His work is unique, deeply interesting, beautiful, and explores the themes of love, relationships, what it means to be Canadian, Canada’s indigenous roots and, above all else, the triumph of the human spirit.

His audience is growing exponentially, and his work is in collections from India to Italy, England to the Philippines, Australia, the United States and, of course, across Canada. His technique may be innovative, but his goal is not to shock or offend. Oliver simply wants to inspire hope and inject a bit of light into the shadows while reminding us of the things that matter most. He is truly a Canadian artist.
