Gary Conway's forty-year dream-journey gazing out upon the mesmerizing mountains of the Santa Lucias.
When I first discovered the Big Sur region of Paso Robles in a crash landing it was soon realized that no place on earth possesses these purest and cleanest of colors and haunting hues surrounding the sharpest of horizons. Painting this phenomenon was inevitable – an artist's paradise! Van Gogh would have truly lost his mind here!

The Big Sur Recollections - Current Works
Ever since I started painting at a very early age, I thought of art as more than the pursuit of the exquisite. Art is also a statement of societal values drawing on the power of nature's beauty that ensures us a sense of life's purpose.
