About me

Painting has been a passion of mine since I was a child , thanks to my late beautiful mother who bought me my first painting set . This was a painting by numbers set and it frustrated me as it didn't  seem quite right to me to be directed to a particular colour and space . So I began to evolve to blank canvases shortly after that.  I discovered I had a flair for sketching and mixing  without the help of a colour wheel. I didn't even know there was such a thing at the time . It was the 70s after all, in my small home town,  where buying art materials could be a challenge . I began  collecting  postcards to  replicate them. I painted  castles , landmarks ,anything that appealed to me .Oils were my preference at the time but it was difficult to maintain a place to store them to dry , as I was living in a home with 9 other siblings.  I now have three  adult children , and when they were young I went back to college to pursue a degree. Timing is everything and I feel that now , I want to share my art with the world . I hope you  enjoy viewing my work and I will continue to paint and post.

Lots of  love Ger x
