“Train the Athlete You Are”

This is my athletic journey—and I’m just getting started.

I don’t think an artist can separate the work completely from the life they’re living.

Before the drawing becomes anything, there’s just the paper.

I’m always interested in that moment when a drawing starts saying something back to you.

I’m Gary Trente. I’m an artist, and I’ve spent a lifetime trying to understand what I want to say through drawing. I’m still figuring it out—and honestly, that’s what keeps me going.

“I want to tell you a little about this drawing. It’s called ‘The Way Through.’

When I was making it, I kept thinking about those times when you’re going through something difficult and you can’t really see what’s ahead.

There’s darkness, there’s uncertainty—but somewhere in there, there’s an opening. A way forward.

For me, this drawing is about finding that way, even when it takes a while.

The Way Through.
9 by 12 inches. Pencil, charcoal and ink on Bristol paper.”

As we get older, we start letting go.

Not all at once—but piece by piece.

A painful memory.
A habit that holds us back.
A person who no longer belongs in our lives.

And slowly, we stop carrying the things that were never meant to define us.

Then something beautiful happens.

We realize we haven’t lost ourselves by letting go.

We’ve finally found ourselves.

And what we gain—peace, freedom, and the courage to be exactly who we are—is worth far more than anything we left behind.

Still becoming…I’m still learning.

Still experimenting.
Still making mistakes.
Still finding new ways to say something with a pencil and charcoal.

I think that’s what I love most about making art—the work is never completely finished. And neither am I.

Why I Keep Drawing

I don’t draw just to make an image.

I draw to understand something I’m feeling—to slow down, to look closer, and sometimes to make sense of things I can’t quite put into words.

Every drawing is part of that conversation.

Not giving up is the art.
