About The Artwork

On the Winter Solstice I had climbed to the top of Elephant Rocks State Park to photograph the first minute of winter. The day started off rainy and overcast and my expectations were not great. But there is always hope, and you won’t ever find inspiration sitting in your living room wishing you were someplace else. Fortunately, the gods of nature were on my side that day. The clouds broke open just minutes before the sun crossed the equator on its annual trip south and I was able to capture some terrific photos. After photographing the Winter Solstice moment, I turned to look east to only to discover my giant shadow cast all the way across the Elephant Rocks dome. The sky was still overcast to the east, but the rocky dome was a brilliant orange and I saw myself, standing sixty feet tall, in this surrealistic scene. This is my memory of Winter Solstice on Elephant Rocks.

Welcome to the visual world of Garry McMichael, painter and photographer. I think of myself as the documentarian of the mundane, whether it’s a rural school bus on a country road, an urban skyline, forgotten objects, or the activities of people doing ordinary things. To draw attention to my subjects I attempt to capture them during those fleeting moments when the atmospheric conditions and the ever-changing light come together in a flash of visual inspiration. It is at those moments that I attempt to turn everyday situations and objects into unforgettable imagery, be it in the form of a photograph or a painting. For over three decades I have explored Middle America, especially the Ozarks, capturing its beauty, people and objects with the camera, charcoals, pencil, pastels and paint. Whether you are inspired by the ebb and flow of the Mississippi River, a quiet walk through the rugged Ozark mountains, or watching a summer thunderstorm roll across Kansas I hope you will appreciate the art of Garry McMichael. Enjoy.
