Gary was born in Brisbane where he received private tuition under the late David Fowler. He also trained in illustration and has worked extensively in this field. His training and involvement in the graphics industry is evident in his use of colour and composition. Gary is a full time artist residing in Maleny, in Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast Hinterland, where his family dates back four generations. It is here that he has been inspired to use a colourful and dramatic approach to his varied subjects.
Gary’s artworks are highly sought after throughout Australia as well as by overseas collectors. This interest has led to a series of overseas exhibitions; the first of which have been held in Brighton, England, and in Shanghai, China. This busy and rewarding program continues as the demand for Gary’s artwork increases.
Gary has held over 30 successful one-man showings, many of them in Victoria where he lived for a number of years whilst also tutoring in art. Gary has competed and attained awards in many art competitions spanning the last 35 years. Consequently, his work is represented in private, corporate and educational institution collections across Australia and many overseas countries.
Currently he is exhibiting on a regular basis with Kevin Hill as one of his Top Ten Australian Artists.
A select number of Gary’s paintings have been chosen as limited edition reproductions. These reproductions have been met with enthusiastic buyer response, adding further value to Gary’s originals
