In an art career encompassing over thirty years, his art works can be found in hundreds of private and corporate collections. He began his formal studies in 1969 at the University of Memphis and continued them in New York and in London, England. During those times he began to exhibit on juried exhibitions winning awards and acclamations. After a period of travels through Europe and America the artist settled in Florida in 1976. His travels have given him a variety of subjects to paint. Views of the ocean, Mediterranean villages and vistas are typical subjects for his paint brush. Gary George is recognized as one of the finest portrait painters that paint commissioned portraits. Commissioned portraits include the likes of Pope John Paul II, President Ronald Reagan, King Hassan II of Morocco, and Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum. He still accepts a limited number of portrait commissions each year. |
