Additional Information

The miniature sheet portrait was painted by well-known local artist, Jason Butler. To ensure the person behind the legacy was captured within the portrait, Jason visited Gerald’s apartment which holds an array of treasured objects and books that reflect Gerald’s interests. He also met with Lee Durrell, to find out more about how Gerald liked to entertain guests, getting a better understanding of the lesser talked about and more casual side of the conservationist. Despite Gerald Durrell’s passing in 1995, he remains a much beloved legend in Jersey.
