About Gary
Gary, a local celebrity and artist born and bred in Newcastle Upon Tyne, started his working life as a top chef, he even cooked for the Queen of England and a lot more widely recognised celebrities.
As well as chef work, he has adorned many a banquet with his lard sculptures, to which people placed orders, only to be told they did not have a long life span.
He has had commissions from Rolls Royce, Newcastle Race course and Newcastle United Football club to name but few.
His has done lots of charity work, the main of which has been the “Pudsey Bear” for the well know charity Children in Need.
It is from this, his humble beginnings that Gary has built up a local up and coming reputation as a wire sculpture extraordinaire, which is expanding at a rapid pace day after day.
It all began with lard art in which he had to make wire armatures to support the many lard/butter sculptures he has created in his short but creative life thus far.
It has turned his normal day to day as a lookalike for James Bond baddy Jaws to become more widely know as a very gifted worker of wire.
With his astonishing large hands he has bent and shaped a normal sheet of wire into life like animals a few of which can be found on this web site.
He has from July 2008 to July 2009 held 3 very successful exhibitions all over the UK.
