Career
Much of his work has been garden sculpture. He has works in the private collections of the Prince of Wales, Sir Elton John, and Lord Rothschild. Verity received his training through the architectural practice of Oliver Hill and through Robert Baker"s teaching at Wells Cathedral.
A 1988 memorial by Verity for the writer Sophie Behrens was the catalyst for the creation of Memorials by Artists - an organization dedicated to the creation of unique memorials.
In 2004 Verity was commissioned to design and build a hand-carved map of the United Kingdom to form the paving for the British Memorial Garden in New York"s Hanover Square. The Garden commemorates the 67 British victims of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
The map features all the counties of Great Britain, as well as the boroughs of London and British Islands and protectorates. The map is carved from grey flagstone from Caithness and sandstone from Moray, Scotland.
