Gary Kresge considers his paintings an attempt to visually communicate his experience of the natural world. "I had the good fortune of growing up in a small town and lived about two blocks from fields, woods and swampy areas," he says. "Early on I developed a fascination for the mysteries in that world. I didn't fully realize the value of these days spent in nature until later in life."
Kresge engages us and urges further contemplation in his scenes of the natural beauty of the area surrounding the Poconos. Through these paintings, he asks us to pay closer attention to a world that is an amazing interplay of relationships woven together by light.
