Gary began his career as a mural painter, the urge to work out on the street, away from the gallery and in touch with the public, and the desire the create large works that were part of the urban landscape was the motivation born from political activism during his college years.

Gary now paints murals using a range of techniques and materials according to the project requirements including: True Buon Fresco; Keim Mineral Paints; Artists Acrylics and using modern digital print and photographic technologies.

Floor and wall mosaics

The desire to create images with a tougher, more durable lifespan lead Gary into mosaic art, and since discovering it mosaic has become the main focus and love. Mosaic is the ultimate architectural art, the image built from many small components, built into the fabric of the architecture, tough, durable, beautiful and low maintenance.

Gary creates mosaic works using marble, stone, glass, ceramic, the beautiful Italian hand made Glass Smalti or even re-cycled materials.

Sculptural art

More recently Gary's work has branched out into three dimensional works. This has been a natural development from the creative exploration of the potential of mosaic art and the needs of differing sites. Still in it's early days Gary draws on his college work as a sculptor and a training course in marble carving in Carrara, Italy together with his experience of working with mosaic and cement to create colourful mosaic clad forms.
