My Bio

Showings

In Gary’s words, “All my artwork represents elements of God’s presence.  I try to communicate through my art a message of God’s grace and love.  Many of my ideas come from sermons, scripture, or the emotional tribulations which are all a part of my personal life and a part of my artistic and spiritual journey.  For me these creations are personal therapy and yet public story telling in a medium that is comfortable for me.  I try to invite the viewer into the stories of the Bible and raise a new awareness of these stories by attempting to relate them to today’s world and its unique set of challenges.  Hopefully in viewing and meditating on their message individuals will question, search and then find relevance and excitement as God comes alive in my painting and their message.”
