Tim Ray Influential artist and Professor of Art Emeritus Tim Ray, 72, Fargo, died February 9. He studied fine arts at the University of Manitoba, taught high school and earned his MFA at the University of Arkansas. In 1970 he joined Minnesota State University Moorhead, where he taught until his retirement in 1996. A mentor and an inspiration, Ray taught through the classroom and his art. He had a fulfilling career as a painter, printmaker, sculptor, curator and educator. He died a week before the opening of A Raytrospective: 40 years of Tim Ray Art at The North Dakota Museum of Art. The show served as a memoir of Ray’s career and a celebration of his life. He is survived by his partner, Ann Braaten, and one daughter. Sadly, his son, Sean Ray (Judy Reid), died on the way to attend his father’s funeral.
