The Work of Gerald, our Grandfather

It has only been recently that we realised that the Australian Art world considered our Grandfather Queensland's Mystery Artist.

And only last year there was a newspaper article Extra: Show artfully seeking Ryan | The Courier-Mail

and the David Pestorius Projects - Recent, Current and Upcoming

asking for more information on him and his art work.

So this is to some what answer their questions.

Gerald was a fairly quiet man, who always painted,

but it was nothing for him to spend two years on a project only to destroy it when finished because what he had put down,

did not match the vision in his mind.

Much of what remains of Gerald's art work was saved by Gerald's son Trevor taking the art work to his home in Melbourne in the 1960's & 1970's.

On Trevor's death this remaining legacy of Gerald's art work was shared between Gerald's Daughter Beverley

and Trevor's daughters Jennifer & Lesley
