Gary Bunt was born in 1957 in East Peckham. His passion for painting began when he was in his mid-twenties having bought himself some watercolour paints to go alongside his keen interests - reading poetry, writing and playing music (mainly the guitar). Being self-taught and having had to overcome health battles meant he felt even more compelled to paint in his own style. It is this distinctive style that his collectors and admirers have fallen in love with and now his paintings feature in private and corporate collections worldwide.
