For Gavin Hugh Troy the roots of creative life began with skateboarding, creating something from nothing. Growing up in a time when skateparks were being torn down, Gavin and his friends built ramps, emptied swimming pools, skated ditches and rode the streets. He is one of downtown Tucson’s longest-running artists, since 1998. He pours his life journey onto his canvases with a lyrical brilliance. His paintings mirror his personal openness and serenity.
