Gerrie 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.

Previously, Gerrie owned an graphic and product design firm in California that specialty was environmental images and products. Clients such as Disney Studio, Warner Brothers Studio, Paramount Studio, Apple Computer, IBM, and additional Fortune 500 companies relied on her talents. She also worked with Baer Animation Studio on developing and designing intellectual property based on her award winning book "Popsi, The Daughter Of Mother Nature."

Lewis's accomplishments have been published in over fifty newspapers and magazines, including a front-page story in the LA Times. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1997-sep-23-me-35183-story.html. Gerrie is also a three time award winning children author.
