Born 15 October 1972 and later educated as a Graphic Designer at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Gary has been moved to create art of a more personal nature. Of his work he says,” I find inspiration in many forms of media and subjects. Creating art for me is about constantly reflecting on his place in the world, discovering how to distill and interpret this interaction with what surrounds me and documenting that personal relationship.” Gary makes a continued effort to encourage interest in art among his contemporaries by exhibiting at NGO’s and cultural institutions such as the Alliance Franciase and the ITECED (Institute of Training and Education for Capacity Building) library in East London.
