Leonard Gerwick

My paintings are abstracts, landscape, figures, still life and assemblages. In the 2000’s I did a series of wood, found objects and paint assemblages. Though the subject of my art is all over, my medium is acrylic with occasional charcoal drawing. To see most of my art go to gerwickpaintings.com. I may be contacted there or through this site. I was born and lived my early life in New York City and now live in Marlborough, Massachusetts. I was co-founder of The Gerwick Puppets and performed throughout New England and New York City for four and a half decades. See the puppet shows for children website for more information.
