About Gerald....Gerald was born in 1934, at home in the small Forest village of Five Acres, he was one of twins who weighed only 6lb between them. ​ 
Completely self taught, Gerald has drawn and sketched his whole life. Encouraged into oil painting by a friend in 1960, this quickly became his favourite medium.
​Retirement from the construction industry in 1999, has finally given Gerald time to devote to his paintings. He has had several successful exhibitions in the Forest of Dean and the popular prints of his work are on sale at local venues, Taurus Crafts and The Dean Heritage Centre.​

Come and see the Arts and Crafts at
Made in Ross...now celebrating its 2nd year with a special exhibition of work orientated around
the River Wye.
Art including Landscapes, paintings and drawings of local wildlife, photography, crafts inspired by the textures and colours of the nature found in and ​around the river.

Richard White has been a photographer, artist, designer and publisher for 50 years. In his biography he tells us that, in that time, I've experienced truly amazing creative moments and feel very privileged to have been given many opportunities to express my creativity with cameras, digital imagery, paint, crayons, pens or whatever came to hand. Throughout this time and despite all the highs and the lows, particularly during my time as an international photo correspondent, covering assignments in some of the more 'difficult' places in the world, they were all experiences that helped develop my creativity through art and photography. 

​The works are an insight into my personal statements and imagination. The subjects are wide ranging but try to capture a moment in time, initially triggered by an emotional response and defined through a vast tool box packed with both traditional media and new digital technology. 
I hope that the collection shown on here will bring joy and pleasure. ​

I draw inspiration from 19th and 20th century artists....Impressionism to postmodernism. I also admire photographers such as Steve McCurry, Richard Avedon, Don McCullin, Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams and Annie Leibovitz and in particular those photographers who have turned towards digital Art and digital painting; Christopher Gilbert, Ricardo Bagnoli and Erik Almás.

I'm currently showing work on two online galleries. Please Click the buttons to be taken to the galleries.

​​New works by two very different glass artists, Myra Fricker and Claire McKnight 
 
Claire is a painter and stained glass artist. She makes windows, smaller panels and hinged boxes, but since moving to the beautiful Wye Valley, Claire has focused on making lamps which can be used at any time of day or night to obtain the beauty of the light.  
​Claire’s work is a translucent version of her paintings and it often tells a story of some kind. Claire says that “the magic of the place in which I now live is truly inspiring, particularly for the light”.
