When asked to describe the value of his work, Ray Parks surprised us with his response;
"My formal education and training, art history, architectural history, and countless artistic books pose a real problem. The danger of all this education is that it can create an elitist art snob who travels down the rabbit hole in search of nothingness. When doing so, you lose sight of the purpose in serious art. The goal of any piece is to reach out and grab the viewer by the soul. It's an opportunity for the audience to appreciate our sacred world and aspire towards a better life. Beyond any economic benefits, that is the real value".
