“I have been a full time painter for over 30 years. I am a member of both the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society and the Victorian Artists Society. I have won numerous awards, including the VAS The Artist of the Year award on four occasions over a 12 year period.
My works are included in may local and overseas collections. I have regularly travelled overseas to paint the European landscape. I have held over 25 solo painting exhibitors. Most of my painting is undertaken plein air.”
Ray Hewitt’s passion for art began at a young age, with his father Bill’s interest in art, and this inspired him to take up painting. Ray attended informal after school art training for a short period. In early adult life Ray sought out more formal training in traditional oil painting, attending classes first with Lance McNeil and later with Shirley Bourne at VAS.
Ray has been a full time painter for over 30 years. He is a member of the Hobsons Bay Art Society, the Victorian Artists Society and the Twenty Melbourne Painters Society.
The Victorian Artists Society awarded Ray its highest distinction of Artist of the Year Award on four occasions, in 2000, 2003, 2014 and 2017. Ray has also won other painting awards and has painted numerous commissions. He has been requested to judge art exhibitions and to perform painting demonstrations and workshops. During his career, Ray has also held over 25 solo painting exhibitions.
Following painting trips to France and England, in 2010 and 2011, Ray held successful art exhibitions of landscapes of the regions of Province and Cornwall. His works are included in many local and overseas collections.
After teaching art and painting Ray now enjoys spending his time plein air painting.
雷·休伊特
雷·休伊特对艺术的热爱始于他的父亲比尔对艺术的兴趣，这激发了他开始绘画。雷在短期内参加了非正式的课外艺术培训。在早期的成人生活中，雷寻求更正规的传统油画培训，先是和兰斯·麦克尼尔一起上课，后来在VAS与雪莉·伯恩一起上课。
雷已经做了30多年的全职画家。他是霍布森湾艺术协会、维多利亚艺术家协会和墨尔本二十国画家协会的成员。
维多利亚艺术家协会在2000年、2003年、2014年和2017年四次授予雷年度最佳艺术家奖。雷还赢得了其他绘画奖项，并画了无数的佣金。他被要求对艺术展览进行评判，并进行绘画示范和讲习班。在他的职业生涯中，雷还举办了25多个个人画展。
继2010年和2011年的法国和英国绘画之旅之后，雷成功地举办了省和康沃尔地区的风景艺术展览。他的作品被收录在许多本地和海外收藏品中。 在教过艺术和绘画之后，雷现在喜欢把时间花在空中绘画上
