Ray Budd Cyprys was a Renaissance woman with a most engaging personality who inspired and touched whomever she met. Born in 1918 in London, England, she was part of a very talented family of artists who nurtured her love of art throughout her life. She was educated as a dress designer, and after moving to Australia, she started her own clothing line, which she both manufactured and sold. After she moved to Hollywood, Florida, in 1962, she took up painting and painted a large collection of work from landscapes and portraits to modern art in oils and acrylics. Today, the Budd, Silverman and Frank Families showcase her artwork.
