Henry Kissinger

Geary's portraits I find riveting. In picture after picture he shows his understanding of the human psyche and how it is subtly betrayed in a person's face and body. Whether it is portraits of masters of the halls of power like Henry Kissinger and Golda Meir or religious figures like Pope John Paul II or a family of children in casual poses, Geary's true artistry is evident in the way he brings his subjects to life. 
He captures souls on paper.

Leonard Bernstein

I found Geary's portraits utterly impressive. His ability to catch the likeness, character and personality of each person ..... is extraordinary. His pieces are deeply personal. I felt as though I was looking into the soul of each subject I viewed. Their mannerism, shyness, exuberance, inner and outer beauty are portrayed beautifully.

Frederica Von Stade

He delves deeply into the character of his sitters. These are not just studies of heads and hands, but each is a unique design which contributes to the artist's personal summing up. In this he shows considerable inventive ability.

Placido Domingo

In my wide experience, I have met few artists who produce portraits as telling and as full of character as those of Mr. Geary. I have seen over 30 of these and in every case there is quite an exceptional revelation of personality which most artists seem unable to capture. He is in my opinion an outstanding artist.
