RAY POWERS

WHIMSICAL ANIMALS

Ray Powers considers himself a “techo-pagan”. The love for nature and technology has been inspiring his creative output since childhood. Whether it be in the visual or musical arts many of his musings of “what could be” have come to fruition. He is an early adopter of the advancements in computer and digital tools. As they have grown, he has grown in the ability to express what he sees and hears within himself.

“The earth has been my greatest teacher. Observing the cycles, seasons, and symbiosis of all manner of life, both large and infinitesimal, has inspired and informed my art and music composition.”

In 1971, Ray went on a field trip to a landfill in Los Angeles. Soon after he helped start the environmental club at his school. It was in this same year he was taught to meditate during summer camp. Nature and natural cycles, stillness and the insights that come from it are the sources he draws upon.
