Gerard Marjoram
1936 – 2024
Born in the Liberties area of Dublin in 1936 , Gerry Marjoram was educated at Francis Street School . He initially done an apprenticeship as a weaver but subsequently entered the College of Art under the tutorship of Maurice McGonigal, and while there was also taught by Sean Keating.. From the early 1970’s he exhibited frequently in Dublin and Galway, particularly with Mulvany Bros and with Combridges Fine Art in Dublin and also the Lavelle Gallery and Kenny Art Gallery in Galway. He was continually drawn to the West of Ireland and to Connemara in particular, for inspiration. His paintings are realistic, and tend to be of the natural landscape as God made it. His work is in private and public collections worldwide, including the Irish Embassy in Prague.
