Garrison had his first art lessons at the old Wesleyan Conservatory in the 1950s. Garrison has a minor in Art History from Mercer University. Garrison started drawing and painting in early 1970. He had booths in the early years of the Mulberry Street Arts and Crafts Festival. He owned a gallery and framing business for several years in Ingleside Village.
