Spirituality is not in the things: places, buildings, objects. Spirituality is a human yearning, a restless wandering, a drive toward the ineffable. Spirituality and faith can intersect, but they are not the same thing. Spirituality is curious and lives with the unknown. Faith takes comfort in muffling the unknown.
Things are markers on the spiritual journey, temporary placeholders. Along the spiritual path, things can be both left behind and held as cherished. This is because all the things become one thing.
The true spiritual traveler is a person of courage, a person willing to lose the self to find the self.

About Me
- Gary
- I've taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati for 30 years. My way to art was a bit out of the ordinary. BS, Tulane University in Mathematics and Chemistry, ready to start a dissertion in mathematics at U. of Notre Dame. Dropped out to teach at a small college in E.Kentucky. Then BS in fine art from U. of New Orleans and MFA, Drawing, U. of Cincinnati. So the study of art is less the basis of my art-making than a solid liberal arts approach to the world.
