Ray Lucci is a self-taught artist raised in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Working most of his adult life in the construction trade, he started painting after being diagnosed with cancer. “I needed something to occupy my mind during the two years of surgery and chemo treatments,” he says. As a young child he was always drawn toward bright, vivid colors and fascinated by the local wildlife, which influenced him to begin painting.
