Born in 1954 in south
London, UK, Gary Hodges displayed an early interest in art which gained him
school qualifications, but he left at the age of 16. His style and highly
developed artistic techniques are essentially self-taught. In the last twenty
years he has published 120 limited editions from his pencil drawings, of which
112 have sold out. Through his art over half a million pounds has been raised
for charity.
Gary's drawings have
given pleasure to many thousands of collectors including celebrities such as
Martina Navratilova, Michaela Strachan, Nigel Marven, Sally Gunnell and Rula
Lenska. He has exhibited countless times and his work has reached record prices
at the famous Christies auction house. It is also held in collections including
the Nature in Art Museum in Gloucester, UK and the Government Art Collection
(UK). His artistry has been the subject of three film documentaries, two
televised. He has received many awards from his peers and his art was voted the
"Visitors' Choice" at the Society of Wildlife Artists Exhibition 2007, London,
out of over 400 exhibits.
