Introduction
Gary Hoyle is a visual artist specializing in representational works for museums, corporations and selective individuals. He also works as an exhibits consultant.
Mr. Hoyle's forty plus year career spans the breadth of museum exhibit work from research to exhibit fabrications. He studied his craft for ten years under the tutelage of Fred Scherer, a thirty eight and a half year veteran of the American Museum of Natural History. During Mr. Hoyle's tenure at the Maine State Museum [1973 - 2001], he designed and fabricated a significant portion of exhibit elements for the permanent exhibit halls, headed the 100 person excavation of the first discovered bones of a woolly mammoth in Maine, and worked on a team that relocated and restored four historically important wildlife habitat dioramas.
Gary Hoyle has also created exhibits and artistic works for museums and corporations nationwide.
His sculptures and painting have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States, as well as at the Amori Prefecture Museum in Japan. His fanciful dinosaur illustrations toured the U. S. A. in "The Dinosaur Show" sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Smithsonian Institution. In 2008 he was appointed Artist in Residence at the Climate Change Institute where he developed a cartoon series on global warming. Since then he has been awarded two Artist in Residences at Schoodic Point, Acadia National Park, and has participated in an artist group retreat at the Schoodic Education and Research Center. Recently, he was represented in the coffee table book, Art of Acadia.
Mr. Hoyle lives with his wife, Jeanne the librarian, on an island six miles off the coast of Maine.
