Alan Bray studied at the Art Institute of Boston and the University of Southern Maine. He received his Master’s degree in painting from the Villa Schifanoia in Florence, Italy, in 1973. He has had over twenty solo exhibitions including at the Farnsworth Art Museum and Caldbeck Gallery in Rockland, Maine. His public collections have appeared at the Portland Museum of Art, Memphis Cancer Center, and Kohlberg, Kravis & Roberts’ offices in Menlo Park, California. According to The New Yorker, “Alan Bray’s landscapes evoke nature’s majesty but drain away its wildness, suggesting something of the poise and repose of Giotto or Mantegna.”
