Axis Gallery , May 2017

Axis Gallery presents, “Telling Stories”, an exhibition of sculptures and installations by Ray Gonzales that are inspired by memories, observations, wishes and influences. Gonzales grew up in a small town and was part of a large Mexican-American family which provided a deep well of experiences to draw from. “The colors, textures, aromas and events of all around me became a part of an unspoken vocabulary that, at the time, I didn’t even realize I was building. This exhibit is but a small cache of that storehouse.”

Ray Gonzales is from Lincoln, California and attended Sierra College as well as C.S.U. Sacramento. He is a long-time teacher for the public schools in Lincoln and currently an Adjunct Professor of Art at Sierra College. Mr. Gonzales has a number of Art-In-Public Places sculptures in the Sacramento Area and is an active supporter of community arts as well as an exhibiting Artist.
