Artist Statement:
Every day is a new experience
with me and creating paintings
is the motivation to have that
sense of purpose. I like to
use washes and drips, brush
strokes in all directions and
the effects of a knife on the
texture of the canvas. One
friend said to me once...

Gary Snyder's Artist Portfolio
Welcome to Gary Snyder's Portfolio.
Every day is a new experience with me and creating paintings is the motivation to have that sense of purpose. I like to use washes and drips, brush strokes in all directions and the effects of a knife on the texture of the canvas. One friend said to me once it looks like I spilled something when I first began a certain painting.
Criticism can be our ally or foe, but the drips and washes flow together to capture that place that brings satisfaction. Using colors that clash together can bring depth or appearence of water, the glazes can create a soothing effect, and some animals I had done photo-realitic is great success to make it come out like a photograph. In my Teepee horse series, I paint the horses much like they would be on teepees, Green horses for bravery, Red for strength, and the landscapes behind them I want to hear the wind in the trees, the leaves falling to the ground, and/or the scent of pines.
I like to keep traditions alive, the world of information around us can swallow up the individual's persona to be caste, a robot instead of human, feeling naught... |
