My name is Ray and I live in Black Mountain. But I go to a school in Asheville. I work as a dishwasher, and spend most of my free time drawing, painting, or cooking. I live with my mother and sister, and a cat named Muffin. I'm planning on focusing on welding for my career, but keeping art in my life. I have always loved art, and making art in some form. I started out drawing when I was a little kid, then I tried out jewelry making for a while. But I've always come back to drawing in my sketchbooks.
