Welcome to the official website of Olympic Master ScuLptor, Shray

“I want to thank everyone ... for all your help and support. I'm so proud to represent our country in the 2008 Olympic Landscape Sculpture Design Contest. I have had this incredible experience.

"Creating my piece for the Olympics and working with so many enthusiastic people in the United States and China truly made me feel that no matter what challenges any of us face, if we encourage that strength within ourselves to reach for the highest level, then we have succeeded.

"It is the process itself that is the award." — Shray

THE ARTIST SHRAY

Bronze sculptor, Shray, is one of the few working artists today who employs the rare Subtractionist technique. Like Michaelangelo, who released the human form in stone, Shray unveils her forms in blocks of clay. Through the lost wax process, her forms come to life in bronze. Great care is taken in the creation of each limited edition bronze. Shray feels that before she will put her name on the bronze sculpture, it must be perfect.

Shray invites you to explore her sculpture, read about her life and her technique, join her newsletter mailing list, and return again soon as she continues to add more bronzes to the site. More about Shray.
