Jerry Hewitt was born in Guildford, England in 1948 and studied fine art at Cambridge art school during the late sixties.On leaving art school one always seems to want to paint a better world' however hunger and reality soon got the better of him and he embarked on a long and varied career in commercial art, founding the successful Commercial Communication design partnership. It is his opinion that the best artists work in the commercial field as one has to be proficient in so many disciplines.
After selling the business he moved to Cavendish in Suffolk and on the suggestion of his children started painting again so they could adorn the walls of their 'Dish' restaurants dishrestaurants.co.uk. He has since met and married his wonderful wife Wendy and has moved to Portugal.
His major inspiration has primarily been music and a fascination with the visual ambience that it creates. This brings a feeling of motion and a depth of passion to his work.
He has exhibited in London. a shared show in New York and locally in Suffolk as well as in Portugal.
