George Gale was born in Nottingham in 1960 and enjoyed a happy family childhood in a small Nottinghamshire village. His father, Rex, worked at the famous Nottingham Raleigh bicycle factory and was a talented artist who inspired his son to follow a similar path.
At school, George’s only real interest was in art classes and it was a natural progression for him on leaving school to attend art college. On leaving college during the late 1970s, he had no option but to put away his painting palette and find work, just as his father had done before him.
From there he held many varied jobs including working for an airline, in a graphic design studio and as a multiplex cinema manager. In his heart, however, he never forgot his first love and now considers himself very fortunate to have spent the last ten years working as a freelance artist.
George’s art career ranges now from designing greetings cards to painting 20ft murals, but he concentrates particularly on his fine art animal creations.
