RAY THE ROOKIE

There was this particular group of Eagle Ray that all the little baby eagle rays wanted to be like just because this group of eagle rays are always trying to help the reef out with anything they can be help of. Few years have passed and Ray came into the picture, he told his friends when he gets older, he will be just like them and working with them. Rays time came he built up the courage and late one afternoon he approached the Boss Ray, by that night Ray swam out of the Bosses cave with the biggest smile wearing the colour proudly as he swam passed the other members of the group. They welcomed him in to the group with a new name “RAY THE ROOKIE”

Biography:

I grew up on Yam Island and moved to Darnley Island (Erub). My partner is from Erub and I have family here as well. I have always loved to draw, its something that comes naturally. I also enjoy fishing and walking on the reef. My artwork gives me the opportunity to express the things that are important to me, my identity and culture. Currently I am working with ghostnet and creating three dimensional work.
