Born in Dartford, Kent, in 1970, as a child Bray would apparently draw images of space travel, depicting himself and his friends visiting other Planets and Universes.
Bray creates delicate drawings and paintings which explore emotion, utopia and more recently imagined landscapes inspired by his move out of London and into the countryside, this move having had a significant influence on this artistic transition, as well as the closer connection this provided to nature. His landscape scenes are wholly atmospheric and sometimes even bleak in tone, offering a close depiction of British country scenes.
