“Spring: Rebirth, Cycle of Life” Exhibition of Works by Ray Byram
Ray Byram’s luminous oil paintings in this exhibit illustrate “the continuity of life, rebirth and hope.” Byram works from photos and paints almost exclusively with palette knives, embracing the essence of reality and creating brilliant landscapes in a style he calls “tight impressionism.” Byram explains, “At quick glance my style looks realistic, yet I employ the theories and approach of the Impressionists.”

Dee Santorini shows her interpretation of this dance — in all its frenzy, in all its grace. | https://www.riverartsdistrict.com/artist/dee-santorini/
