Jeremy Gardiner was born in Münster, Germany.[10] He was educated at Newcastle University, UK (BA Hons in Fine Art, 1975–79) and the Royal College of Art in London (MA in Painting, 1980–83), where he was awarded a John Minton Scholarship.[11]
Gardiner seeks to capture the genius loci or a sense of place, with his artworks having been compared with those of Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland.[12] His paintings are the product of a long engagement with coastal landscapes in Britain.[13] He has continued the approach to landscapes of 20th-century St Ives modernist artists such as Peter Lanyon, Ben Nicholson, and John Tunnard.[10] Gardiner's landscape subjects have included locations from the Jurassic Coast,[14][15] especially in Dorset, and the coastline of Cornwall,[16] in southern England.
Jeremy Gardiner's work Purbeck Light Years used hybrid techniques combining computer animation, painting and drawing, and immersive virtual reality.[17] Gardiner also worked on a project Light Years Coast, a virtual recreation of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.[18]

Gardiner was the winner of the 2003 Peterborough Art prize for the work Purbeck Light Years.[11] In 2013, he was awarded The Discerning Eye ING Art Prize for the work Pendeen Lighthouse Cornwall.[21]
In 2017, Gardiner was awarded a Senior Fellowship by the UK Higher Education Academy, in 2020 he was awarded an Arts Council England Grant, and in 2022 he was awarded a British Council UK-China Connections through Culture Grant.[11]
