Immerse yourself in the lavish beauty of flowers during our upcoming exhibition by artist-horticulturist Gerald Simcoe.
FROM THE ARTIST
“Whether painting a floral portrait or a large floral still life, each flower is given the attention to detail it deserves. I paint from life, sometimes in very buggy and precarious situations. Being out in nature and growing the plants into blooming beauties allows for a unique representation of them. To me, flowers are the ultimate seduction of nature.”
Gerald Simcoe has been painting in his barn/studio in the Lehigh Valley, PA since 1985. After studying art at the renowned Art Student’s League of New York, Gerald gardened for Ambassador Annenberg on his estate in Wynnewood by day and studied ornamental horticulture at Longwood Gardens by night. Gerald captures the essence of each flower’s blooms using a unique artist-horticulturist approach, cultivated by growing the flowers that serve as the subjects of his paintings. He is the recipient of the 2007 Forbes Magazine Award, with his work represented in many public and private collections.
