About the Artist
Gerard (Jerry) Marjoram was born in The Liberties, Dublin, and showed exceptional artistic promise from a young age. He studied at the National College of Art under Maurice MacGonigal and Seán Keating. By 1970 he was working full-time as an artist, exhibiting with Combridge’s, the Lavelle Gallery, and the Kenny Gallery in Galway. A later retrospective at the Kenny Gallery celebrated both his early and mature works. Marjoram is especially admired for his tranquil depictions of Connemara and the west of Ireland, portraying the landscape “as God made it.”
