Gerrie Lewis

My photographic art intends to visually stimulate one's mind while bringing awareness to the interwoven connection between nature and society. Photography allows me to capture the changing environment around us, the positive and the negative. Through my multilayered imagery, I’m able to incorporate a positive message that all objects on our amazing planet posses value. My passion for sustainability runs deep, and I embed my spirit into everything I create.

Gerrie Lewis left the corporate design industry to follow her dream of becoming a photographer. Passionate about nature and concerned about the impact of waste on Earth, she set forth to create an environmental message through art. Traveling to exotic and not-so-exotic places in the world, Gerrie began her journey. In two years, she shot over 58,000 photos, then began developing her innovative style of multilayered photographic imagery.

No one would immediately recognize that Gerrie’s alluring artwork incorporates debris or other unwanted objects such as graffiti, dying trees in the layered images. Gerrie's lens also focuses on nature’s magnificent beauty and Earth’s wondrous resources. Her artistic process begins by digitally overlapping multiple photos, combining nature's beauty with society's waste. Each photo then gets manipulated until they morph into a single image. As the vibrant colors of nature bond with the unusual textures and colors of waste, they unite into their expressive, harmonious form. Her thought-provoking art portrays how every resource on Earth is useful. Gerrie’s photographic imagery shows in New York, California Ethos Gallery, and she has many private collectors.

Gerrie recently completed thirty new pieces, including fifteen additional images based on the Indigenous People’s belief that nature is the foundational anchor of all life.
