This is Sam Gray's style: personal, warm, comfortable. The walls of his elegant studio are filled with portraits which speak intensely of their subjects. As Sam says, "I feel I have done my best work when the portrait looks as if there is no one present except the subject themselves." There is a certain mood, a tranquility here. Portraits by Sam Gray seem to have a presence of their own; they are studies in relationships, character, values. Sam believes in looking into the personality to be recorded." His favorite subjects are people who love their families and want to communicate their feelings on canvas. Sam's own affection for his wife and four daughters spill over into his understanding of his clients.
