“At the core of our artistic collaboration is the belief that ‘art connects people from all different parts of the world and from all different walks of life.”

BY CHARLOTTE RUSSELL
Cary-based watercolorists Joe Godfrey and Rani Ray have a unique partnership, friendship and connection through painting. They grew up in different parts of the world—Godfrey from Boston and Ray from Calcutta, India. Art is their common bond, and by working alongside one another they find synergy in their painting styles, landscape as their subject matter and watercolor as their medium. Both artists are drawn to nature. Godfrey worked as a landscape architect while Ray, a former banker, finds inspiration from travel and the local landscape. Painting en plein air around Cary and the RTP area, each brings a unique voice and interpretation to the same scene. Sharing their artistic journey together exemplifies the power of connection through art.
