I am John Gerrie a Scottish watercolour artist from Aberdeen.

My love for art began during my school years, where I first explored creativity through drawing and painting. Although life led me down a different path as a chartered surveyor with architectural experience, sketching and detailed drawings remained a part of my professional life, quietly nurturing my artistic foundation.

In 2017, upon retiring, Alison encouraged me to join a local art class. Within just a few months, I completed my first watercolour—a painting of the iconic Neuschwanstein Castle. This marked the beginning of a new chapter where my architectural background seamlessly blended with my artistic pursuits.

Today, I specialize in watercolours, a medium both challenging and rewarding. My work reflects a love for detail and includes a range of subjects: historic buildings, landscapes, seascapes, village scenes, and intricate pen-and-ink combinations.

I also take great joy in creating commissioned pieces, collaborating with clients to craft unique artworks that hold personal meaning and bring lasting joy.

Joining the Aberdeen Artist’s Society in 2024 marked a significant step in my artistic journey. My professional life for the last twenty plus years has been in the world of sustainable cosmetics development, drawing on my background as a trained makeup artist. This experience honed my understanding of colour, texture, and design, which now informs my artistic practice.

Returning to my passion for art, I focus on minimalist abstraction, taking inspiration from the harmonious colour palettes of the sea and sky. Working primarily with acrylics and mixed media, I aim to create peaceful, minimalist works that invite reflection and a sense of calm.

My work is currently available to view at Frauhaus Gallery, 33 Chattan Place, Aberdeen, AB10 6RB.
