Capturing time and moment best describe a Gary Whitley painting.
A lifetime of observation is evident in Gary's ability to paint with great detail while giving the illusion of simplicity.From his prairie farmland roots, to riding with his wife on horseback throughout BC and Alberta, to his varied adventures in the Canadian northwest, NWT and Alaska, Gary has retained images of nature which allow him to produce amazing visual depth.
His interest in history is evident in many of his paintings of buildings and landmarks which may be gone but are not forgotten thanks to his artistic rendering.Gary has lived in the Okanagan for 20 years which has allowed him to paint local Okanagan heritage, including the historic Kettle Railway trestles before their devastation by fire several years ago.
Achieving AFCA status with the Federation of Canadian Artists in 1986, Gary's work has hung in shows and galleries throughout BC, Alberta, Ontario and several states.
