Cloister Gallery artist
Showing in July - Paintings by Gary Wilcutt
Gary Wilcutt grew up in Wichita, Kansas, and showed enough promise in drawing that he had art lessons from the age of eleven and was painting in oils by the time he was twelve. After graduating from high school and two semesters of college, Gary relocated to Kansas City in 1970 to work on the assembly line at Ford Motor Company in Claycomo, Missouri. While at Ford he completed his bachelor degree in Studio Art from the University of Missouri at Kansas City and took a variety of other classes including three years of cabinet making, stained glass classes and classes on metal working.
In 2007 Gary retired from Ford to fulfill his initial dream of being a full time artist. It is his hope to use art as a means to express visually some of what he has learned in his walk with the Lord.
Gary is blessed with a wonderfully supportive wife Mary, who has also exhibited her art work in The Cloister Gallery. They have six grown children between them, and fourteen grandchildren scattered over three states and two Canadian provinces.
The Cloister Gallery is open Monday-Friday from 9-5, and on Sundays from 8:30-noon.
