What They're Saying

Critics Review

“These are extraordinary works, exquisitely reproduced. Some people will be illuminated and transformed in the process of viewing. I found them compelling.”

“Mr. Grey’s paintings, as detailed and anatomically accurate as medical illustrations, present man as an archetypal being struggling toward cosmic unity–Grey’s vision of a flawed but perfectible mankind stands as an antidote to the cynicism and spiritual malaise prevalent in much contemporary art.” * New York Times *
“Reverence and beauty radiate from every page.” * Jay Kinney, Gnosis, Winter 1999 *
“These are extraordinary works, exquisitely reproduced. Some people will be illuminated and transformed in the process of viewing. I found them compelling.” * Judi Koteen, Napra Trade Journal, Fall 1990 *
“The majority of Grey’s recent work depict spiritual/energetic systems–the sacred and esoteric symbolism of the body and the forces that define its living field of energy.” * Magical Blend, January 1992 *
“The color plates are of exceptional quality depicting both human and spiritual forms in a variety of intriguing and thought-provoking ways.” * The Midwest Book Review *
