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.

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.
