Robert Garey grew up and now lives and works in Florence, SC, and has been producing artwork since childhood. Robert lived and maintained a studio in NYC from 1986 - 2011. While in NY he attended and graduated from The New York Academy of Art with an MFA in painting. While in the city, he worked as a mural painter while he was producing and exhibiting his fine art. He returned home to SC in 2011, to be near his family. Since his return he has shown his work at ArtFields in 2013, '15, and '16. He recently (April 2017) had a solo show at the Florence County Museum entitled "The Fiddler's Tale” that included the works he had shown at ArtFields. He has been producing murals in Florence as well as showing his paintings in different venues in Florence and in Charleston. Garey is essentially a figurative painter with an interest in narrative work. His main influences are the great masters of the European Renaissance and the American figurative painters of mid 1800’s and regional works of early through mid-twentieth century.
