Gary's art is immediately identifiable as Australian, with a deep connection to the outback and a passion for the history of Australia.   

His style is unique providing glimpses of larrikinism that abandon the traditional norms of landscape painting.

He has held over 30 successful solo exhibitions and his artworks are highly sought after throughout Australia as well as by overseas collectors. His engaging interpretation of the Australian landscape have led to overseas exhibitions; in Brighton, England, and in Shanghai, China.

Currently he is exhibiting on a regular basis with Kevin Hill as one of his Top Ten Australian Artists and is a visiting tutor at the Sydney Art School.

Awards & Prizes

Gary has competed and attained awards in many art competitions spanning the last 40 years.

Most recently Gary has been a finalist in the prestigous Hornsby Art Prize and the Sunshine Coast Art Prize

Collections, Commissioned Works & Reproductions

When not out in the field sketching or painting in the studio, Gary sustains a busy schedule either exhibiting or working for charitable organisations as a featured artist.  As a well recognised Australian artist, his work has been acquired for private, corporate and educational institution collections in Australia and overseas.

Consequently, Gary also frequently creates commissioned works on behalf of clients.

A select number of his paintings have been chosen as limited edition giclee prints that have been met with enthusiastic buyer response, adding further value to Gary’s originals.

Personal Inspiration

Gary was born in Brisbane where he received private art tuition under the late David Fowler. After an early career as a cartographer Gary spent time as an illustrator and other related work in the graphics industry. This training and involvement is evident in his use of colour and composition. His extensive travels have given Gary a love of the Australian Outback that has been the central theme for his artwork for over four decades.

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.
