Born in Los Angeles he was raised in various parts of the South. His early education was in New Orleans, San Antonio, Tennessee, South Carolina and Alabama.
Education

In 1962, Hayes obtained a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree at Auburn University in graphic design with an emphasis on painting. For the next two years he was employed as the Art and Staging Supervisor for Auburn University Educational Television.
Graduate
After moving to Champaign/Urbana, Illinois in 1964, Hayes earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Printmaking at the University of Illinois in 1966. Hayes was awarded a two year, full time position, teaching painting and drawing at the University, until moving to New York City in August of 1968.
Life in New York
In the late 1960s and early 1970s loft buildings in what is now called Soho and Tribeca, were attractive to visual artists for their large open floor studio spaces. In 1968 Hayes lived in a loft building on Church Street in Tribeca before moving to Chambers Street in 1977.
Teaching
In addition to teaching at the University of Illinois (1966-68), Hayes taught at Parsons School of Design (1981-83), and at theUniversity of Hawaii, Honolulu (1980). Most of Hayes' academic career was at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York (1971-2006). At Pratt Institute, Professor Hayes was full-time graduate faculty, teaching seminars in painting, drawing and printmaking. In 1983 he served as the Chair of the Painting and Drawing Department and in 1985 taught graduate painting and worked as Assistant Chair of Fine Arts until he resigned in 2006. In 2008 he was awarded Professor Emeritus status for his service to the Institute.
Artworks and Exhibitions
Early Exhibitions
The first solo exhibition in New York of Gerry's art work was in 1970 at Reese Palley Gallery in Soho. Another show of sculpture installations in 1971 was at Bradford College, Massachusetts, Douglas Heubler, Chairman. Also that year, James Harithas, director of Reese Palley Gallery included Gerry's work in the "Lucht Kunst" ( Air Art ) exhibit at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the next year at the Everson Museum in Syracuse, New York. Sculpture and photo documentation pieces were included in an exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, titled, "Earth, Air, Fire and Water : Elements of Art." When Dave Hickey was the new director of the Reese Palley Gallery, the artist and producer of the "Elements" exhibit, Virginia Gunter wrote a feature article on Hayes' work for ARTFORUM, (May 1973), titled "Gerald Hayes: The Creativity of the Psychological Eye[1]." Gerry's concerns in photo-documentation and para-sculpture ideas were made public in the open mall exhibit space of the City University of New York on 42nd Street in Manhattan. A full page of photos of some of these works were featured in FLASH ART magazine in October 1973.
Photo Drawings
A new series of art work from 1973 to 1976 took the form of drawing with an ink compass on large photographs, relating the arcs of curved shapes to the patterns of plant leaves. A selection of these photo drawings were shown at the 112 Green Street Gallery in Soho and related works of drawn circles and leaf collages were also exhibited in the Bevier Gallery of Rochester Institute of Technology.
Hybrid Works
Art work in 1978, combined photography with painting into a complex tondo (circular) form. An article written by the painter and critic Craig Fisher for ARTS Magazine (June 1980) explored the hybrid nature of these works[2]. Robert Pincus-Witten also discussed current and early works in his diary-style writing, "Entries: Styles of Artists and Critics" in ARTS Magazine, (November 1979). University of California Santa Barbara Art Museum curator Phyllis Plous included Hayes' leaf arc drawing, a new tondo painting and a wall installation in an exhibit titled "DARK/LIGHT" in 1980. The exhibit traveled to Scripps College in 1982 and was reviewed in Artweek and The Los Angeles Times which included a photo of his installation.
Tondo Paintings
A large scale tondo painting was exhibited at the Emily Lowe Gallery of Hofstra University "Abstract Painting, New York City: 1981". In March of 1982 a show of Gerry's tondo and square paintings were exhibited at the Harm Bouckaert Gallery on Hudson Street in Tribeca. A comprehensive monograph in ARTS Magazine (March 1982) by Robert Yoskowitz featured the paintings in the exhibit.
Solo Shows
Exhibitions of his paintings in 1990 were at the Stockton State College Gallery, Pomona, New Jersey and at the Calkins Gallery of Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York. In 1997 an exhibit titled, "Drawing After the Arcade", was at Southern Cross University Art Museum in Lismore, Australia. A catalog with an essay by Mario Naves documented the works in the exhibit.[3].
Algus and MoMA
In his interest to inform the art public of earlier art works, the art dealer, Mitchell Algus curated an exhibit for his Soho gallery in May of 2000 of art from the early 1970s which included Gerald Hayes, Judith Murray, Deborah Remington and Ted Stamm. From this exhibit titled, "Reconstructing Abstraction," an ink compass drawing on photograph by Hayes was later purchased by collectors Eileen and Michael Cohen, who eventually donated the work to The Judith Rothschild Collection of The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Paintings by Gerry Hayes and Scott Malbaurn were shown at Denise Bibro's Platform Gallery in Chelsea (2008). Hayes' paintings were reviewed by Mario Naves for The New York Observer.
Exhibit and lecture at MoMA
On May 14, 2009, Gerry Hayes was one of 5 artists whose work in the "Compass in Hand: The Judith Rothschild Collection" exhibition discussed their work at a public forum at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A biographical article on the work of Gerald Hayes (March 2011) was prepared by art historian, Dr. Helmut Kronthaler for a German art encyclopedia, "Allgemeines Kunsterlexikon". French art critic, Timothee Chaillou, included Gerry's work in a group show in Paris in 2011, titled "No Color in Your Cheeks Unless the Wind Lashes Your Face".
