Wray explains her commitment to painting:
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
My reason for painting is to express my inner-most feelings, my deep love for [[God]], and the world He created. Feeling that painting should not be exclusively realistic or abstract, I travel freely between the two, combining them when necessary to convey my emotional and philosophical responses to the subject. Recently, I started a new series of non-objective paintings based on symbols … universal as well as personal, subjective ones. The series is a result of some Jungian studies in conjunction with my "inner journey" and an outgrowth of my [[Judeo-Christian]] background and strong beliefs. This series is called "Inside Looking Out" ... a name representing my "inner person" looking toward the light of truth. ... my work has consolidated into the direction I have been looking for all my life. I'm so excited. I can hardly finish one before another is formed in my mind."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nwlaartists.org/community/1260-jerry-wray/profile|title=Abput Artist|publisher=Northwest Louisiana Artist Director Profile - Jerry Wray|publisher=Nwlaartists.org|accessdate=September 16, 2017}}</ref></blockquote>
