Gillespie Oak Harbor Home |
Deeply inspired by art history and the profound emotions it evokes, my work is a journey into the abstract realm where existential meaning intertwines with cultural iconography. My collage-based approach, utilizing diverse materials such as colored tissue, disassembled newspaper clippings, and Fred Meyer grocery ads, allows me to create unique interpretations of universal imagery. These become enigmatic entities when placed in new contexts.
Between making art I manage an international art supply company selling my own brand of sketchbooks throughout North America and Europe. Leda Arts Supply.

Bio
GJ Gillespie is a collage artist living in a 1928 Tudor Revival farmhouse overlooking Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island (north of Seattle). In addition to natural beauty, he is inspired by art history -- especially mid century abstract expressionism. The “Northwest Mystics” who produced haunting images from this region 60 years ago are favorites.
Winner of 20 awards, his art has appeared in 60 shows and numerous publications.
When he is not making art, he runs his company Leda Art Supply selling the sketchbook that he designed.
