According to Ray's website,"Ray was contacted by a professional sand sculpting company and invited to Jesolo, Italy. He was to participate in their annual holiday sand sculpting project. Though Ray had never sculpted in sand, he took the opportunity that was offered. In November 2008, Ray traveled to Jesolo and created his first sand sculptures. His performance was exceptional, and he was invited back the following summer where he participated in bringing “Dante’s Inferno” to the beach. He was given the most pivotal sculpture of the show, and his effort did not disappoint. A trip to Russia followed, where Ray sand sculpted just blocks away from Red Square and the Kremlin".
