Art is not life but comes from life. Art is no more human than you are. No more intelligent than you are. No more interesting than you are. No more profound than you are. One of its main tasks is to help you see yourself reflected in the world and the world reflected in you. It activates what's potential in you and in those your work engages. It reveals to you what was there but hidden in the places where light would not otherwise enter.
All that said, art is still not life.

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.
