Biography
Garry L. Harwood was born in 1959 in London, England and studied for a career as a marine biologist and physical oceanographer. After two decades in the jewellery industry he decided to return to his roots and make painting his chosen profession.
His interest in the natural and physical sciences occasionally influences his artwork and in this guise his astronomical paintings are an attempt to visualise
and communicate scientific data to the public. His astronomical imagery has appeared on television, in numerous magazines and musea and planetaria,
and at professional conferences. He has exhibited work throughout Europe, the USA and South America, with many pieces residing in private collections. When not getting lost in some remote corner of the globe, he divides his time between London and the far west of Cornwall where he can often be found painting on the cliff tops a short distance from his studio.
He is a member of several art societies in the UK and a lifetime member and Fellow of the International Association of Astronomical Artists.
