Welcome to Ray’s Art & Gifts, where passion meets creativity!

I’m Ray Reddy, CEO of Ray’s Art & Gifts. My journey into art began at the age of 15, inspired by my love for music. Over the years, I explored various creative ventures, from playing in bands to designing custom projects.

In 1969, after a decade as a railroad engineer, I took a career leap when the railroads merged into Conrail. During my time on the railroad, I built a custom van in my home garage. The very first night I drove it to work, a colleague bought it on the spot! That moment sparked an idea, and I launched Reddy Vans Inc., specializing in custom vans and show trucks.

My entrepreneurial journey continued with the founding of House Rehab Co., where I designed and built custom kitchens, bathrooms, and handcrafted woodwork. This passion led me to explore wood art, acrylic liquid art, and stained glass creations, which became the foundation of our art and gifts business.

My wife, Jeanette Reddy, brings over 25 years of experience in banking, followed by a successful career in town administration and parks & recreation. After 16 years of dedicated service, she retired, and together, we embarked on our shared dream—owning and operating our own retail art and gift store.

At Ray’s Art & Gifts, we take pride in offering unique, handcrafted art and gifts that reflect our passion for creativity and craftsmanship. As a family-owned business, we value quality, artistry, and personal connections with our customers.

Today, at 77 and 69 years young, we are thrilled to be living our dream, sharing our love for art, and bringing joy to our customers through our work.

Thank you for being part of our journey!
