The son of artist and photographer George Cherry and Mary Ann Matilda, née James, and brother of miniaturist Ada Whiting, G Rodney Cherry was born in Hobart on 9 August 1856.

Cherry worked as an insurance broker for most of his adult life but maintained his family and social connections to the arts. He exhibited at the Victorian Academy of Arts in 1884, when his address was given as 33 Hoddle Street, North Richmond.

Cherry married artist Alice Jane Elinor Brotherton in Melbourne in 1887.

Dividing his time between Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney, Cherry took photographs of the artists’ camp at Sirius Cove at Sydney’s Mosman Bay in the 1890s.

Widowed in 1898, Cherry moved permanently to Sydney at the start of the twentieth century, married Minnie J Johnson in 1900 and settled in Wahroonga, where he died on 15 August 1947.
