Garry Mealor's watercolors challenge common perceptions of realist images. The accidental or arbitrary mingles with the intentional, going beyond realism to give the work a life of its own. Mealor's watercolors are large, smoothly executed and jammed with contradictory details. Each painting suggests as much as it reveals.
The extensive list of Mealor's awards and exhibitions over the last ten
years reveals a national breadth in his popularity including a Visual
Arts Grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, New York; an Individual
Artist Fellowship, Florida; an Alaska State Arts Grant and more than
100 national and regional juried exhibitions.
