Alex Ray, founder of Five Senses Art Consultancy, gained a BA Honors Degree in Fine Art at Central St. Martin’s in London, England. She then went on to have a successful career as an editorial photographer for magazines worldwide. In 2002 she launched Five Senses Interiors, an interior design company, whose guiding philosophy was to stimulate the senses through color, art, texture, sound and scent. Due to her earlier experience and training in Fine Arts she began to integrate contemporary art into both corporate and residential projects. Alex Ray started to deal privately in art in London at the pinnacle of the exploding British Art scene in the late 90’s and it has been a passion ever since.

She has been responsible for contemporary art acquisitions for numerous corporate art collections and individual purchases in blue chip and emerging works, both in Europe and the USA.

Now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she currently serves as a member of San Francisco MOMA’S SECA (Society for the Encouragement of Contemporary Art) and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Curator’s circle in San Francisco. She currently hosts and curates exhibitions showcasing new talent every few months.
