Gerry McElroy

Biography:
I am a graduate of the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York City, where I majored in Fashion illustration. After graduating, I worked as a fashion illustrator in Manhattan for 10 years, until finally ‘retiring’ to raise our three sons.

Now that my three sons are grown, I have been able to return to my first love of drawing the human form. Charcoal is my favorite medium but I also enjoy working with the many rich colors of pastels and by combining the two mediums I have been able to create some very colorful works of figurative art.
