For three decades, Garry McMichael has been traveling the back roads of Middle America, especially the Ozarks, capturing its beauty with the camera, charcoals, pastels and paint. Garry is constantly searching for those fleeting moments when the landscape, the atmospheric conditions and the ever-changing light come together in a flash of visual inspiration. Whether you are inspired by the ebb and flow of the Mississippi River, a quiet walk through the rugged Ozark Mountains or watching a summer thunderstorm roll across the prairie, you will appreciate the art of Garry McMichael. Garry McMichael has been a photojournalist, commercial photographer and artist for the past thirty years and is owner of PaintStLouis.org where he organizes and teaches workshops in St. Louis, Missouri. He is actively involved with the Greater St. Louis Art Association, Art St. Louis and is Past-President of the Gateway Pastel Artists Association.
