Gary St Clare was born and raised in New York, Manhattan and began my formal art training at LaGuardia High School of the Arts in New York City with a concentration on Art & Music. He built a strong portfolio and continued on to the School of Visual Arts (SVA).
As an artist Gary St. Clare goal is to create pieces that quickly attack attention, easily communicate ideas, sparks up some controversy and engage the viewer to look in and investigate for more. For me creativity is a form of searching, that searching lends itself to all forms of creative work. In my work I draw my inspiration from points in history ranging from Afro American history, political climate and dark atmospheres as well as cultural influences.
