Art(s) on the Air with Jose Ray

Wednesday Aug 13, 2025
Join Kate for an interview with Jose Ray, a multi-faceted artist. You can find his work on gallery walls, in public murals, in the bookstore, and you can find him in the DJ booth downtown.
Born and raised in the Midwest, Jose grew up with a love for wide-open exploration and do-it-yourself spirit. That outlook took him in many different directions while always building the knowledge and skills toward a creative path…and eventually, profession.
In visual arts, Jose works with Mixed Media to achieve lush and vibrant floral landscapes. The trail of abstraction is left to shine through in some moments, and in others, rendered into beautiful and fantastic floral forms. Playing with contrast and balance is always a motivating factor for this loaded-with-contradiction Gemini.
In audio arts, DJ Jose Ray has the knowledge and skills to set just the right tone with an eclectic mix of styles and a love for genre-jumping. Whether we're poolside chilling or sweating it out on the dancefloor, Jose will make sure you're lost in the groove!
Catch Jose DJing:

Notes:
In this episode we referenced his friend Marc, the owner of one of Jose's murals, & a super talented poet. We've realized we didn't give him appropriate credit. Marc's full name is Marc Thomas - his most recent book is "Wetlands - Low Country Haiku", which was illustrated by Jose Ray. This latest book was released last month & is available at The Book Lady & Locally Made Savannah, among others.
