| Gordon was born in Petersfield, Hampshire and although his painting takes him across the world he still lives in the area. |
| His success as a landscape painter is matched by his reputation as a war artist. In recent years he has worked in areas of conflict as diverse as Bosnia, Kosovo, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Afghanistan and Iraq. |
He has paintings in many collections including The National Library of Wales, ICI, HM Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Nelson Mandela, The Royal Marines, The Royal Netherlands Marine Corps, The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, The Royal Marines Museum, The Mariniers Museum Rotterdam and The House of Lords. |
