Ivan Gray Fine Art
Welcome to my world of art – a world where creativity meets the open road and the raw beauty of nature intertwines with heavy machinery. I’m Ivan Gray, a traveling mixed-media artist with a passion for capturing life in all its vibrant, rugged, and delicate forms.
As someone who splits time between the art studio and the job site, my work is a unique blend of the natural world and the industrial landscape. My canvases often feature florals and wildlife, cityscapes bustling with energy, and the towering presence of heavy equipment that shapes our world. Each piece tells a story of movement, resilience, and the beauty found in unexpected places.

The Art of the Road.
My journey as an artist is deeply intertwined with my love of travel. My mobile studio, set up in my RV, allows me to explore the ever-changing landscapes of the American Southwest and beyond, from the serene sunsets over the Chihuahua Desert to the sunrises reflecting off of the front range of the Rocky Mountains, down to the red dirt sunsets of western Oklahoma, over to the bustling energy of cities like Phoenix, Denver, and Oklahoma City,. Alongside my family , I find inspiration in every stop, capturing moments that reflect both the quiet and chaotic parts of life.
My work is set apart by the fusion of mediums and subjects that you might not expect to see together. One day I might be layering oils and acrylics to capture the delicate bloom of a sunflower, and the next day I could be drawing the precise lines of a Caterpillar dozer hard at work. The intersection of these worlds is where I find my voice as an artist, and it’s my hope that my art reflects the strength, beauty, and spirit of both.
When I’m not painting, you might find me supervising heavy-civil projects, a world that has taught me the importance of precision, hard work, and teamwork. These values carry over into my art practice, where I strive to create pieces that resonate with authenticity and purpose. My work has been showcased in galleries and events across the region, including the recent Artini “Havana Nights” show, where I continue to share my passion with new audiences.
I invite you to join me on this journey – whether you’re here to explore, to purchase a piece, or simply to be inspired by the stories behind the art. Thank you for being part of this adventure – the road ahead is full of color, texture, and endless possibilities.
