SHRAY — “Sculptor Shray reaches out to collectors through her fluid bronze renditions of human emotion. This summer, that reach extends beyond these borders when her sculpture, “Raising Tomorrow’s Olympic Champions”, embarks on a worldwide tour beginning in Beijing to represent the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Invited to submit a sculpture for the games’ 2008 Olympic Landscape Sculpture Design Contest, Shray was one of eight Americans extended this honor, and just one of two given the “excellent works” distinction—the competition’s highest rating.

“My piece honors parents worldwide who nurture the Olympic dream,” she explains. “I’m so grateful the committee reached across the ocean to invite American artists to participate in such an auspicious event, especially since art knows no borders or boundaries.”
