About the Artist

A twenty-year US Army veteran and active trauma surgeon, George Garcia initially took up photography as nothing more than a justification to take a little time away from work.  However, he rapidly developed a passion for it when he found that it awoke something within him.  He felt an increasingly powerful connection with the wild places he explored.  It very quickly seemed like the land began to speak to him, that he could sense the energy of each place flowing through him.  It was as though he could increasingly feel our ancestor’s sense of wonder at these places overlapping with his own, almost like traveling back in time.  As a result, his work reflects that energy and sense of wonder, sharing it with the viewer and awakening that connection within them.
