For our Grand Opening month of May, we are thrilled to feature the always splendid work of Gary Millard. Don’t miss the opportunity to see this display in person. Gary’s paintings are a treat to the eye and an instant connection to the great outdoors. Truly an artist of nature, his artwork never fails to capture the feeling that “you are there.” The experience of being outdoors with the smells and nature’s elements are why he so enjoys plein air painting.
In Gary’s words: “Yes, painting gives me the ability to not try to be better than my contemporaries, but, that each time I pick up a brush, to be better than myself. People often say that this or that person has not found himself, I don’t believe that “self” is something one finds, it is something one creates.”
In addition to his studio and plein air work, Gary is a popular teacher who generously shares tips and techniques with students in his series of acrylic classes here at the Antioch Art Center.
