With urban landscapes, cartoon elements, and superheroes as frequent subjects, Wray is noted for a tightly cropped and abstract painting style.

"[3] Wray was the son of a lieutenant colonel in Army intelligence,[3] and his family moved frequently, living in Germany, Vietnam and Hong Kong.

[1] A phone call from John Kricfalusi recruiting him to Spümcø brought him back West in 1991 to work on Nickelodeon's The Ren & Stimpy Show.

He would serve as a director at the studio, with his improvement in background painting and emphasis on artistic brilliance often cited as detrimental to his episodes due to his poor writing skills.

[13] He is a member of Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, Oil Painters of America and the California Art Club — and has participated in workshops with Ray Roberts, Carolyn Anderson, Matt Smith, Eric Merrill, Frank Serrano and George Strickland, in addition to his long-term study with Jove Wang.
