Welcome to the watercolor art portfolio website of architect and artist, Gary J Gery.
Carmel-by-the-Sea Morning (Winner of Best of Show at El Dorado County Fair 2022- size is 15 x 22)
My art focuses on representing landscapes, seascapes, and scenes of the California Coast, from Santa Barbara to Crescent City. Additionally, my art highlights California Missions, Lighthouses, Vineyards and unique and interesting architecture, along with images from my life in Arizona and travels to Japan. Although most of my work is representational, I have created more abstract landscapes based on color and movement. I provide customized artwork of a wide range of subjects. ENJOY the Art and the journey it takes you!
