Gerry developed an interest in drawing at a very early age but had to "put it away" and get on with his life. In the 1980’s, a brief exploration of watercolour painting revealed the technical, artistic skills Gerry was capable of.
In 2004 he finally had the time to explore his artistic expression along with other major changes in his life. Experimentation of mediums led Gerry to begin painting in earnest with acrylics.
Though Gerry has admired many artists and a variety of styles, none ultimately stand out as strong influences. Gerry intends to explore his creative urges without regard to subject matter, already producing unique abstracts, still life and landscapes. His goal is simply to paint from the heart, hopefully producing works people will like enough to want in their homes.
