Biography of Gary Coles

Gary Coles started painting at the age of 16 while still in high school, crafting intricate hard-edge imagery that concealed hidden names within his pencil drawings. During his college years, he had the privilege of working with two art mentors who expanded his techniques and deepened his understanding of the fundamental principles of design, helping him embark on the path to mastering his craft.

Bruno S. one of my art instructors would come to class with assignments: the first for the general class which he would spend 5 minutes, the second assignment was only for me and he would teach me for the rest of the hour. Bruno would discuss techniques & purpose of being a true artist. Which I am grateful for still to this day. I do what I can to instill those values into young artists regardless of age.
