Fay Ray

This is the first work of art that I looked at and that looked at me back. I was 10 on a bus trip to The Getty Villa with my grandma Lupe’s seniors group in 1988.

On today’s episode of INSIDE HILTON’S HEAD, we take a field trip to Los Angeles, California to chat with LA based collage, sculpture and ceramics artist, @fayraystudio . In this episode, Fay and I go back and forth on the temperature of the art world, why she hates being called a “creative” and why she believes it should always be quantity over quality. Fay is very well known in the commercial Art world, shining bright in numerous group and individual shows across the world. She has work in the @lacma collection and has sold work to numerous collectors and large brands over the years. While she has a street rep, shifting to institutional support has been a major milestone for her. She has her first solo museum show up now at Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson, titled Fay Ray: Portals. Fay is one of my best friends and an absolute badass! Give the episode a listen and I’m sure you’ll agree. 😍✨ . . . . . #InsideHiltonsHead #FayRay #sculpture #style #ceramics #creative #artwork #artist #art #worklifebalance #interior #LACMA #design #interiordesign #home #homedecor #podcast #interior #quantityoverquality #interiorstyling #inspo #inspiration #creative #plants #HiltonCarterPodcast #LosAngeles #outdoorjungle #newep #newepisode

TODAY! Join me and this group @mocatucson for this generous offfering 𝑴𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 + 𝑪𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒚—a convening that explores how practices of art making and caregiving overlap as creative processes. This FREE two-part program takes an expansive view of the act of mothering and centers the perspective of femme-identified caretakers. Saturday, May 25 11-2pm The convening will begin with a panel conversation between artists Liz Cohen (@lizcohenstudio ), Amber Doe (@amberdoestudio ), Sara Hubbs (@sara.e.hubbs ), Anh-Thuy Nguyen (@anh_thuynguyen ), and Fay Ray (@fayraystudio ), moderated by Natalie Brewster Nguyen (@nataliebrewsternguyen ), who will present their art practices and share personal experiences and strategies for balancing and reconciling the dual roles of artist and caregiver. The second part of the day includes lunch and small breakout groups for participants to discuss topics relevant to sustaining a creative practice while caring for life.
