Gerry Hillman is an artist renowned for the depth and quality of his landscape painting.

Gerry was born in 1948 and from a very early age he was enchanted by colour and the magical effects of light. Indeed much of his boyhood was spent in fields and woods among the wild beauty of his native Cornwall.

Despite the fact that he had no formal training in fine art, Gerry discovered oil painting at the age of eighteen. In oils he found a medium which would capture the richly atmospheric landscapes he loved.

Gerry Hillman's academic training and career were science based but he continued to paint and sell his work as an artist in parallel with his other professional occupations.

Since 1981 he has been full-time artist with numerous successful one man shows.

In addition to original landscapes, Gerry now paints a broader range of subjects with more intimate and human interest.

Gerry lives high on the moor in the parish of Linkinhorne with his partner Lois, and Jake. The roaming ponies, cattle and sheep graze up to the walls of their garden while Ravens, Croak and Buzzards cry in the wide sky above. The ruined engine houses and stakes of the Victorian copper and tin mines around are now mostly overgrown and reclaimed by Nature, and here and there are signs of Bronze Age settlements and early tin streaming and mineral workings. From Summer sun to Winter snow it's a rich, wild landscape for finding inspiration.

His work is much sought after and is now available as high quality limited edition prints.

Gerry also undertakes private commissions for customers (prices depend upon the nature of the subject and the amount of research needed - please contact him for more information).
