Gray is from Alexandria, Virginia. He began his art education at Virginia Commonwealth University and received his degree from the Corcoran College of Art and Design in 2007. In 2013 he began to focus seriously on his art practice. Since 2014, Gray has exhibited and worked at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria and currently maintains a studio there.
