Gerald is a multimedia artist based in South West Australia with paintings represented in private collections in Australia and the UK. Trained as a video lighting cameraman producing programs for Industry and Commerce, Gerald now paints abstracts full time and teaches Impressionist landscape painting in oils with a palette knife.
His influences have come from years of painting out in the landscape surrounded by rich colours, dynamic shadows and brilliant light. Continuing this journey into abstraction provides him with incredible freedom to make thoughtful, deliberate and spontaneous marks on the canvas.
He incorporates layers in mixed media, full bodied and high flow acrylics, sand and glazes, applied with brushes, sponges, rags and palette knives. His approach is totally intuitive, providing an ongoing state of exploration and discovery until a resolve is met. The journey continues.
