Portrait of the Artist As An Old Man

Portfolio About the Artist Make a Purchase Home Page
 

     Cary was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1944.  He experienced some success in his early adult years.  He had his own shows in Utah. His work was exhibited in Reno, Nevada, as well. His work was also purchased by the then Nevada Art Gallery and two  of his works were chosen for exhibition in London.

    Although he kept painting, he put aside his artistic ambitions to raise his family working full time as a pipe-fitter and a mechanical design engineer.  Now that he is retired he is turning to the full-time pursuit of his art.

     Cary views all of his paintings as musical compositions. As a painter he sees and hears a bridge between the beauty of music and that of abstract art.  When he paints he almost always feel a beat, a rhythm in what he is painting. Often a melody as well. 

    Cary views his art as compatible with modern abstract expressionism. He leaves interpretation of his art to the viewer, believing each person views art in his/her own way.

     He now lives in Salt Lake City, UT. with his wife and daughter.   He also has two adult sons.
