SOLD OUT BUT A FEW COPIES STILL AVAILABLE FROM NATURE IN ART




























To coincide with Gary’s retrospective show at Nature in Art “Drawn to the Soul”, a wonderful book of the same name has been published. It celebrates twenty five years of Gary’s art. His extraordinary wildlife drawings are accompanied by his personal, and sometimes very revealing, heartfelt commentary.















A must for any collector or fan of Gary's art, it is beautifully designed with a foreword by actress and founder of the Born Free Foundation, Virginia McKenna, an introduction by Simon Trapnell, Director of Nature in Art, and a last word from actress and conservationist Rula Lenska.















The book has 84 pages with 45 of Gary’s drawings and is being published as a limited edition of only 1,000 copies, each signed personally by Gary. Book dimensions: 230 mm x 240 mm. SOLD OUT.














Picasso said that "Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper." Gary is an artist whose subjects take a seat on the paper. They are alive. Right in front of us. His drawings are his way of speaking, and his way of empowering the subject to speak for itself. A few strokes of Gary's pencil invariably hold much more than mere form and line, they can hold immensity.

They can't help but draw us to the soul.


From the introduction to "Drawn to the Soul"
Simon Trapnell, Director Nature in Art, August 2010
