Gray Foy (August 10, 1922 – November 23, 2012) was an American artist who created a visionary body of drawings from 1941 to 1975. His drawings are generally divided into two phases. First, from 1941 to 1948, the artist drew figurative Surrealist landscapes and interiors. Then beginning in the late 1940s, he concentrated on botanical subject matter, both naturalistic and imagined.[1]
