American education, even through college, needs to do a much better job of helping students understand, appreciate and find meaning in beauty. Every civilization--no matter the politics, wars, government or struggles—holds onto its expressions of beauty as symbols of who they are at their best. Without the guidance of teachers, the significance of beauty is lost in our lives, and we fall back on what’s glamourous, what’s pretty or what’s spectacle. These are superficial and entertaining, while beauty touches the soul.

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.
