RAY MANTELLA

For as long as I remember I have loved to create.  The ideas form in my head and might not act on them for a long time but eventually, I try and bring them to life. 

I love textures and wood and metal that has been eroded by nature’s elements. I love creating sculptures and sculptural canvas. My paintings are usually a mix of paint worn away from the canvas to form a scene or a dreamlike vision. 

I finally have a kiln and wheel and this new medium will be incorporated into everything I do.
