Gale Ray is an award-winning fine artist. After 34 years as a tapestry weaver, 15 years as a faux finisher, a lifetime of painting, Gale’s most recent work focuses on hand building pottery.

She currently maintains a studio in Charleston, SC where she works and shows her art.  Her subject matter includes coastal landscape, coastal images and one-of-a-kind hand-built pottery vessels inspired by the land and the sea.
 
“As I look back over my life as an artist, I have come to realize that no matter what I’m working with, it becomes a way of painting. Whether I’m weaving, constructing a 3-dimensional tapestry, creating a faux finish, painting or hand building pottery... ​I’m always painting."

"I view myself as an artist with a painter's eye and many different hands; a weaver, a faux finisher, a painter and a potter."
