As a little lad Gary would sit on the step at the local post office step close to his home whilst sketching characters, cars and buildings. Finally convinced by family that perhaps other people would like to see them, Gary has become a much loved and respected artist in and around County Durham.

Embroiled in the humour and innocence of The Broons, Oor Wullie etc., this is reflected in how he sees the world, whilst also capturing times, places and memories familiar to all of us in the Bishop Auckland area and beyond.
