Gary Buhler was born in Adak, Alaska and grew up in the Pacific Northwest. He showed an aptitude for drawing at an early age and eventually went on to study art as an undergraduate.  He completed his studies with an MFA degree in Painting from the University of Arizona.   His beautiful home state of Oregon as well as his adopted home state of Arizona have inspired much of his work.  He continues to live and work in historic Newberg, Oregon, where he works in his studio and runs the Blue Trout Gallery.

Along with his love of God’s creation and long-time pursuit of landscape painting, he has a love for historic neighborhoods and architecture and much of his work is inspired by that passion.  His studio and gallery are located in a restored 1923 commercial building in downtown Newberg.
