Inis Danley Ray is an award winning
artist. She won an award five consecutive
years in a juried exhibit at the Arts and Science
Center for Southeast Arkansas.
As member of the Pine Bluff Art League and
Gallery, she has served as president for the years
2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008. She also has
membership at the Arts and Science Center for
Southeast Arkansas museum in Pine Bluff, AR, the
Mid-Southern Watercolorists in Little Rock, AR, the
Arkansas League of Artists in North Little Rock, AR
and the Arkansas Arts Council located in Little
Rock, AR.
Inis never tires of studying the
approximately 230 art education books that she has
acquired. She takes art workshop[s) at every
opportunity. Inis really enjoys being creative
and loves the indirect method of painting. She
usually uses a range of methods to create a field of
texture for an under-painting and then possibly adds
a realism touch to the art. However, she
enjoys collage, abstract and non-objective
composition as well.
In 1985, Inis began studying in
oils. She is currently using watercolor and
acrylic media. She has studied under Garland
Jenkins, former curator of the Arts and Science
Center in Pine Bluff, AR; Richard Stephens,
watercolorist and nationally known artist from Hot
Springs, AR; Amy Hill-Imler of Little Rock, AR and
Sue Conners of Florida. Inis was happy to have
attended a workshop under Fred Rawlinson from
Memphis, TN and formerly, New Orleans, LA.
