Gary was born in Alcester, South Dakota, on March 17, 1942. He was raised on the family farm with two brothers, Ramon and Arthur, and younger sister Mary. At the age of 15, his father passed and the family moved to Southern California, where Gary began to develop his sense of adventure and wanderlust. He lived in Seattle and Alaska, expanding his skill in taxidermy and developing a love of the wild places that would come to drive his life and passion when he turned his attention to painting and sculpture.

Some oxidation greening to the patina; overall good condition.
