Gary has built a diverse career spanning advertising, exhibit design, web project management, and information technology.
A native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, he earned his BFA in Communication Design from Kutztown University. He began his career at an advertising agency in Lancaster before moving to Baltimore, Maryland, where he spent the next 18 years designing for the display and exhibit industry. During that time, he founded and operated his own design and exhibit company, combining creativity with entrepreneurial spirit.
In 2005, Gary relocated to West Granby, Connecticut, where he transitioned into IT and systems management. After more than a decade in that field, he chose to return to his creative roots in 2018. Since then, he has devoted his time to drawing—working primarily in charcoal, with horses as a central theme. He continues to explore new mediums and techniques, excited about this next chapter in his artistic journey.
