Christy Gray is a textile artist working with richly colored hand dyed fabrics to make contemporary wall hangings. Pulling imagery from nature and iconic landscape elements, her artwork is a quiet interlude with vibrant, bold colors and a suggestion of line.
Gray's artwork has been accepted into the 41st Mid States Crafts Exhibition at the Evansville Museum in Indiana. Her work has also been juried into Artist as Quiltmaker XIV at Firelands Association of Visual Artists in Oberlin, Ohio. Gray's work is in the collection of Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Tri Point Hospital, Fairmount Minerals, and Glidden House.
A visit to Quilt National, a international juried art quilt exhibition, in 1993, was the inspiration to use textiles as her medium. As a self-taught artist, Gray refuses to follow the rules in creating her contemporary quilts. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from Bowling Green State University, Ohio. Gray spent her childhood in Shelby, Ohio, a rural town that continues to feed her artwork. Gray lives in Bay Village, Ohio with her husband, daughter, cat and dog.
