George Gardner Symons was born in Chicago, Illinois, where he studied at the Art Institute and met his lifelong friend, William Wendt. Further study followed in London, Paris, and Munich. Upon his return to the states, Symons moved west to California, and along with Wendt, built a studio in Laguna Beach where he was able paint en plein air year-round. He remained involved in southern California art, but maintained a primary studio in New York. He is best remembered for his snowy winter landscapes of New England.
