ABOUT THE ARTIST
Gary Rupp
Gary studied art at Wheaton College. He completed a minor in studio art, but after graduation pursued a different career path. In 2005 Gary's interest in painting was reawakened and he began further training with pastel artists, such as, Albert Handell, Maggie Price, Terri Ford and Michael Chesley Johnson. He discovered pastels provide him the purest and most natural colors available for his paintings. Gary has participated in numerous pastel events and enjoys teaching pastel classes and workshops for all levels.
"Life has a way of pushing aside the soul. Art reminds us we have one. Just as a musician selects from a cacophony of sounds to make music, my job as a painter is to organize the colors surrounding us into something beautiful called a painting." - Gary Rupp
