The Gary David Story
Gary was born into an extraordinary
family. His mother had been born blind, as were
his three older brothers. This situation led Gary
at an early age to become the eyes
of his family. He would spend many hours
describing the complexity and beauty of nature,
texture and colours that made up his world in
the country town of Tumut.
Upon
reaching adulthood, Gary moved to Wollongong to
pursue his future in education and information
technology. After teaching at several high schools
around the state, Gary pursued a career in the
IT industry. While working for Apple
Computer and Bullant
Technologies, he gained insight into new
worlds. In more recent times Gary has been an
academic mentor working with classroom teachers
to help them integrate technology in their day-to-day
practice. Today he is completing his PhD in educational
technology.
Destiny
continued to intervene in Gary’s life and
following a dramatic sea change he refocused his
life. And so, gary david - the Artographer
was born.
Gary
embarked on a new journey that led to rediscovering
his previously unexplored gift, the ability to
describe the complexity and beauty of nature,
texture and colour through his photographs of
the everyday - the ordinary. Through his incredible
eye for detail he is able to capture for all to
see the amazing beauty that surrounds us and yet
so often taken for granted.
Gary
has assembled a collection of over 35,000 images
with the themes ranging from colour combinations,
flowers, mechanical elements, abstracts, landscapes,
cityscapes, macro-elements, cafes and bars, street
scenes, Mardi Gras and other celebrations, including
life in his own neighbourhood around Kirribilli.
Because
of his resilience and drive to succeed, the next
step was obvious; host his first major showing
of his work in his own neighbourhood, the very
same neighbourhood which now inspired him so much
on this in creditable journey.
The
synchronicity of more recent events has taught
Gary to listen to his intuition and follow his
heart. In doing so, Gary has made many new friends,
discovered and followed new paths, faced new challenges
and encountered new opportunities. A peace of
mind and a deeper understanding of himself, his
art and the world now follow him everyday.
