For over 50 years, Paul Garland (b. 1943) has influenced generations of local artists through his teaching career at SUNY Oswego, while consistently evolving in his craft. Beginning in the late 1960s, Garland experimented with large-scale abstract works created solely on the artist’s instinct, without purposeful planning or forethought. This process of intuition has carried through Garland’s work ever since.

After receiving his MFA at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Garland began teaching art at SUNY Oswego, while pursuing his artistic practice in his studio in Fair Haven, NY. He has traveled extensively and at different times has had studios in New York City and London. His solo exhibitions include those at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, the Leo Kamen Gallery in Toronto, the New York Institute of Technology in Westbury, NY, and at AXOM Gallery in Rochester. His work in included in the permanent collections of various museum, corporate, and university collections including the Everson Museum of Art, the Memorial Art Gallery, the IBM Corporation, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
