About Mal Bray
Here at FineArtAmerica and my personal websites: pixsee.co.uk and malcolm-bray.pixels.com, I am showcasing digital, mixed media and hand painted interpretations of music related themes and subjects: musicians, instruments, performers etc. With a passion and love of music, I find this offers me my favourite material for interpretation and development.
