Gary Floyd, widely known for his music as the lead singer in several successful bands, launched his work with the classic underground punk band the Dicks. With several successful albums completed, he assembled the Bammy-winning group Sister Double Happiness. Rolling Stone magazine finally caught up with him in what turned out to be a smashing review of his latest band, Black Kali Ma. His solo endeavors have found a large following throughout Europe with the release of his fifth solo album Backdoor Preacher Man.

Throughout his career, Gary's expressions reached beyond music into a fantastic series of mixed-media creations. Avoiding the term "artist," Gary does Art. His pieces forge a stressed synergy between overt sexuality, spiritual insistence, and subjective violence. The initial impression is extreme; but, the subtlties that follow leave the viewer lilting in a simpler truth. The medium, in Gary's words, "is what I can grab the quickest...pizza boxes, scotch tape, water colors, copied photos and diabetic test strips [...] What I save on psychiatric services, I spend on art supplies. I leave 90% of my personal crisis in the art, leaving the remaining 10% for me to carry myself."
