This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Gerritt Beverwyk was a native of Grand Rapids. He studied at the Meinginger Art School in Detroit and, after military service in World War II, at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He worked for 30 years as a commercial artist in Chicago doing animation, including a television show called This Is the Story, and other advertising art.
He drew many of the contemporary buildings of Saugatuck, Michigan but also painted the Big Pavilion in bright watercolors, with a dark green Interurban car and several old-time automobiles in front.
