This
is the main entrance to Bay Area intimist painter, Gary Stutler's,
online virtual galleries of fine art showcasing the variety and and
diversity of Gary's paintings. In addition, this main entrance page
also supplies links to other pages that provide more information

including his availability for commission projects, what a giclee
is, the latest developments in Gary's career, and how to contact
him.
Paintings created by Gary Stutler are extremely varied and, in many
ways, defy definition. His artwork, however, is very much
influenced by, and offers a contemporary expression of, artistic
movements like intimism and realism. The range of his
subject-matter is also quite wide, and includes portraiture and
figurative work (including numerous approaches to the
self-portrait), still life, landscape and cityscape, furniture,
interiors and innerscape. His painting approach takes advantage of
assorted materials: Oils, pastels,and various dry media. Rather
than just focusing on being a California painter, or even an
American painter, Gary has sought out subject-matter in various
international settings, such as New Zealand, New Caledonia, Cyprus,
and others. He does, however, take pride in his representations of
Vallejo and Napa Valley locales.
So it's fair to say that Gary is more than just a realist, a
portraitist, a Vallejo artist, a Napa Valley artist, or even a Bay
Area artist. He is a painter who seeks to create new art that
conveys the intimacy of a special moment or place . . . that allows
the viewer to lose her or himself in the luxury of an extraordinary
instant of life or locality.
Enjoy your viewing of Gary's paintings, and feel free to contact
him with any comments or questions.
