Gerard Erley
Columbia, SC
Born in Springfield, IL in 1957, Gerard Erley often says he took up art to find quiet seclusion in a household of ten. He used art making as a way to explore the world around him and to help clarify his place in it. That approach eventually led to a career as a professional artist.
With over 120 awards to his name at the regional and national levels, Gerard has had over four dozen solo shows throughout the United States and exhibited in over 300 juried shows. The artist's work has hung in museums and galleries from New York to California, and can be found in museum, corporate and private collections both in the United States and abroad.
Known mainly for his landscapes, Erley is also interested in portraiture, the figure, still lifes, and abstraction, using oils as well as pastels. Having taught at the college level, he offers the occasional workshop.
Currently the artist lives and works in Columbia, SC.
