Profile

The Company manager, Gérard, is originally from the port of Sète in the south of France. Sète is a lively Mediterranean town with picturesque views from Mont Saint Clair, a network of canals and bridges and an array of colourful cafés lining the port. It is also famous for its 'joutes nautiques', a water jousting tournament dating back to the 17th century.

Later immigrating to Australia, Gérard continued his artistic career. He studied graphic/commercial art and from there established his own graphic art business. Gérard's love of art led him to develop his repertoire of artistic forms to include murals and "trompe l'œil". He also studied traditional decorative finishes, including the art of gilding, and established another business called Art on Walls, which is his main occupation today.

Today an award winning artist, Gérard's work adorns many of Brisbane's social and leisure precincts, including Queensland's Heritage House, Palma Rosa; Treasury Casino; Westfield Shoppingtown, Indooroopilly; The Emporium French Restaurant, Fortitude Valley; The Acacia Ridge Hotel; The Waterloo Bay Hotel, Woody Point; The Full Moon Hotel, Redcliffe; The Brackenridge Hotel; The Queens Arm Hotel, Roma, to name but a few.

His creative murals have also contributed to the holistic approach of healing adopted by the Mater Children's Hospital, Brisbane, and Saint Andrew's Hospital, Ipswich.

Gérard's art has brought prestige and elegance to many private residences throughout Brisbane, including homes of historical importance.

Gérard employs a team of highly skilled people to assist him in the many aspects of his business.
