I make large and more reasonable sized paintings that are completely abstract and at times figurative. They are always intense and sensuously painted having presence and power is prized. I have shown often recently in the area and in Kingston NY. Why work is in many collections and in a number of museums in and around Detroit which is where I was born and went to school. I lived in NYC for nearly 25 years and exhibited often there as well. Come to my studio you will be entertained. I am also a partner/ owner in the Gallery ArtUp.

Gary Mayer got a BFA from Wayne State University in Detroit, receiving an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, studying under Grace Hartigan where he was her graduate assistant. In 1982 he moved from his native Detroit to New York City where he exhibited at Exit Art. His work has since appeared in shows in his native Detroit and other parts of the country as well as the Catskill Mountains.
