Gavin Collins was born in Cape Town, South Africa on May 30th 1971, the son of a farmer and artist. Living on farms all his life, Gavin showed no interest in academic subjects but spent his days working with his hands, drawing and painting. When his talents became apparent at the age of 14, his parents supported him and at 16 allowed him to leave school and attend the Ruth Prowse School of Art.
Gavin had his first solo exhibition at the age of 14 and went on to become a top selling artist with a huge collector base worldwide, two of the bigger markets being in Ireland and the UK. Gavin has been painting for 26 years and has had numerous solo exhibitions and owned 4 of his own galleries. His present gallery is situated in Westlake Lifestyle Centre, Westlake.
In the past years, the demand for his work has grown immensely and many of his Master Series paintings are sold directly to collectors on completion without being viewed by the public.
Gavin’s creativity has grown along with his passion for painting, recently adding stainless sculptures and designer furniture to his collection.
