Garth Herrick has been acclaimed with several prestigious awards as a portrait and figurative fine artist. In 2006 he placed as a semifinalist in the Smithsonian Institution’s Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition, and in their annual International Portrait Competition, the Portrait Society of America awarded him a second year with a certificate of excellence, following a finalist honors award in 2005. In 1991 he completed the well publicized master sculpture of the colossal Horse for Leonardo da Vinci, leading to the bronze monument installed in Milan, Italy. Having studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, with instructors Arthur DeCosta, Sydney Goodman, and Will Barnett, he received the William Emlen Cresson Memorial Traveling Scholarship in 1984, the Stewardson Prize, and first Thouron Prize, graduating with honors the following year. Herrick’s portrait commissions include five notable federal judges, a governor, mayor, a number of cultural, educational, and business leaders, along with everyday people and children, and hang in a number of public, corporate, and private collections. Herrick has several portraiture and landscape painting classes scheduled, and is available for commissions and workshops.
