Gary Lippincott

Gary Lippincott has always been interested in fantasy and imagination—background, buildings, creatures. He uses his talent to bring his concepts to the viewer. His specialty is fantasy but he has also done science fiction and children's books. He started working in oils but later moved to the more delicate and difficult watercolors. Some of the books he has illustrated include The Vampire's Beautiful Daughter and Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher. He has produced art for the Science Fiction Book Club, Houghton-Mifflin, Realms of Fantasy, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Harcourt & Co.

He graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art, receiving his BFA degree. In addition to painting he has taught at the Worcester Art Museum. He has exhibited at Arts Worcester, University of Massachusetts Medical, Bush Galleries, Cambridge Gallery, Southbridge Center for the Arts, Spencer Arts Center, Northampton Center for the Arts, and the Words and Pictures Museum.
