Travels in East Africa were the inspiration for ‘Journey to Zanzibar’ – a series of abstract figurative paintings, published as limited edition prints by Fathom Gallery.
After living for a period of time at a meditation retreat near the border to Mexico, Gary’s work took a more conceptual and contemplative direction. ‘Distilled landscapes’ were exhibited in a solo show at Tarryn Teresa Gallery, Bergamot Station in 2008, and his ‘Particulate Fields’ a series of peace meditations were the subject of a show entitled, ‘Moments of Stillness’ in 2015.
