Gary is a native Western New Yorker from the Genesee Valley, currently residing in Brighton. Throughout his life he has surrounded himself with artists and creative people. These individuals provided him with the nurturing and inspiration that allowed him to evolve and develop into the artist he is today. Gary studied art in the Fine Arts program at SUNY Geneseo as well as at the Art Institute, Boston, MA. In his working career he was the Creative Director/National Sales Coordinator for Willow Group and post-retirement has started painting full time.Gary is passionate about Impressionism, more specifically Claude Monet and other Paris-based artists from the early 1860s. His oil paintings show the same respect for open composition with an emphasis on an accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities that is characterized by this 19th-century art movement. He has exhibited in Truro, MA at the Highland Museum, the PAAM, Provincetown MA and The Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester NY, at the Clothesline Show. Gary’s work is primarily focused on Cape Cod and Western NY landscapes, but he also enjoys doing still life paintings when he cannot get outside to paint. Most recently he has been studying at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown, MA.
Mary Giammarino, Hilda Neily, John Clayton, and Anne Blair Brown are several of the artists that he has studied with.
