Primarily a self-taught artist, Gary Hoff pursued training
in the commercial art field while cultivating his painting technique through personal
study and frequent trips to the galleries and museums of New York City. There, the works
of the European masters provided much inspiration. In addition, Hoff took classes with the
Reilly League of Artists, which stressed extensive classical disciplines to refine his
personal technique. Later, Hoff furthered his skill in the arts by studying under New York
artist Michael Aviano.
Several of New York’s most prestigious art
institutions have recognized Hoff’s talent including, the Grumbacher Gold Medallion
from the American Artists Professional League.
