Gerry was born in Gloucestershire in 1938, and has been interested in drawing and painting since childhood. Alongside a successful career in industrial design he has developed his talents as an artist, and as a result his paintings of intimate landscapes and marine subjects have become widely exhibited in galleries and mixed exhibitions both at home and abroad. He has carried out many commissions for a wide variety of organisations including Surrey Heath Museum, where he has two works in the permanent collection. His work has also been reproduced as limited edition prints.

In latter years Gerry’s skills as an artist and his ability to communicate have given him the opportunity to teach drawing and watercolours to artists at all levels, and he has demonstrated watercolour, line and wash, and acrylics to art societies throughout the country.

In 1993 Gerry bought Brackendale Arts, an art materials shop in Camberley, Surrey, which is now owned and run by his daughter, also an artist. His expertise in art materials and techniques is now widely sought after, complementing his skills as an artist.
