The Art of Ray Swanson - In Memoriam
Ray Swanson (1937-2004)
Whatever the subject matter of his paintings, Ray Swanson revealed
something of himself as well. His own story, however, explains much
about how the man behind the canvas achieved the dream that so many
artists share.
Ray's childhood and early years reveal how his artistic heritage and
rural upbringing molded him into the artist that he became. Ray was able
to do for a living what he loved most during his lifetime of 67
years before his untimely death on December 17, 2004.
