For three decades Garry McMichael has been traveling the back roads of Middle America – especially the Ozarks, capturing its beauty with the camera, charcoals, pencil and pastels. 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. “When I was young my artistic inspiration came from nature and living in the heart of the Ozarks. But now, much of my inspiration comes from my family, friends and fellow artists. I’ve come to realize there is as much beauty in my backyard, or downtown St. Louis as there is in a thousand acres of forest-covered hills.” 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 Kansas plains you will appreciate the art of Garry McMichael.
