Ray Allen

Beyond Wood... Portrait of an Artist
After 30 years in the construction industry, Ray Allen (1930-2000) retired in 1982. In 1986, Allen found his passion when he began turning simple pieces.


Ray's work can be found in many of the finest private collections of contemporary woodturning as well as the permanent collections of the Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, HI, the Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, MI, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA and the Renwick Gallery, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Washington, DC.


Produced on location by Bernard Blain and
narrated by Ray Leier, noted expert in the field of contemporary wood art, this video provides an in-depth look at the work and passion of Ray Allen.
