Garry Gilmartin was a realist painter
who captured the spiritual in everyday life. He died on Sunday,
October 10, 2010 after a long and valiant fight.
According to Elizabeth Ives Hunter, Executive Director of the
Cape Cod Museum of Art, Garry Gilmartin’s paintings are “a
magical window into a world of tranquil beauty.” He managed
“to capture the essence of light falling across form and, by
passing that image through a personal filter of emphasis and
subordination, brought the viewer along to share his inspiration.”

Garry
Gilmartin was
born in Palmer, Massachusetts in 1949. He attended
Paier School of Art in Hamden, Connecticut and spent
a postgraduate year studying under Ken Davies. For
the next 15 years, Garry pursued an award-winning commercial
illustration career in New York City and Boston.
Mr. Gilmartin fell
in love with Cape Cod while visiting
friends and commercial illustration became
a thing of the past as he became immersed
in painting New England, its structures
and its people. The positive response
to his fine art work came immediately.
His work is in the permanent collection
of the Ashville Art Museum,
Ashville, NC.
