Gary was born in Worcester. 

In 2004, after some years juggling the demands of a conventional job alongside his artistic practice, Gary was a finalist in the DeMontfort New Artist competition. This success signalled the start of significant professional success and recognition. His prize was a publishing contract with one of the UK’s leading art publishers where he quickly gained his international recognition. 

Gary explains: “My work is very whimsical, romantic and happy: quirky and two-dimensional, combining an intriguing air of fantasy with a twist of reality within.” 

Gary’s originals have now been internationally exhibited in London, New York and Hong Kong. 

In addition, he is also a keen philanthropist and is known to donate his art to charity.
