Everett Raymond Kinstler is one of the nation's most gifted portrait painters. A comic book artist of the "golden age" era, he drew for The Shadow and created the Zorro comic books before turning to portraiture. His 1200 portraits include presidents and other well-known personalities. He painted Alfred Drake as Haj in "Kismet" on view at the Players Club, NYC. In 1999 Kinstler received the Copley Medal from the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian, its highest honor.

If I may brag a bit, Ray is one of my friends - well, really my husband’s. He probably just tolerates me! A lovely man, hilarious storyteller. I have some art of his hanging on our wall now.
