**Ted Wray turns damaged books into magic, immortalizing them by transforming them into mind-expanding 3-D worlds of inexhaustible wonder, with just a blade. Wray has had careers in the fields of printing, music and art, earning him multiple awards in his pursuit of excellence in each career. In 2019, he once again reinvented himself, this time as one of the world’s most innovative Book Excavation Artists. Since then he has earned various awards while exhibiting his works in New York, Rhode Island, Maryland, Georgia and Florida. In 2021, his month-long solo exhibition, “Don't Judge a Book by its Carver” included over 50 of his works. His staggering creative output exceeds 150 works of Book
Excavation Art, over 50 of which are in private collections across the United States and Canada. He currently lives and works in St. Petersburg, Florida. https://www.tedwrayartist.com/
