Bjorn Rye and Ray Strong were members of the Oak Group. A group of artists dedicated to painting and preserving the natural landscape. Ray Strong was recognized as one of the leaders of the Oak Group in Santa Barbara County. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Utah, he traveled widely, living in San Francisco, New York City, Athens, Munich, and London. After studying art history and creative writing at Columbia University, he published two novels and wrote art criticism for "Artforum" magazine. In 1989, he returned to the Santa Barbara area and began to paint landscapes so successfully that he had sell-out exhibitions in New York, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara in 1997 and 1998.
