“ The work presented here shows how deeply I am affected by the light and color of our surroundings: the water, the woods and the open fields and all that nature's beauty has to offer those of us lucky enough to live on Long Island’s East End .
My technique spans from a classical approach to the more dramatic, with variations in mood, formed in abstractions of color and shape.
Painting, sculpture and photography have now each become an independent form of expression, but my work remains grounded in fundamentals, and my vision will always be drawn to all that is possible.”
Until 2006 Jerry was involved in the worldwide manufacturing, marketing of Die Cutting Machinery for a myriad of industries. Jerry's art career began with pottery and now focuses on sculpture, watercolor, oil, acrylic painting and photography. He has studied at the National Academy School of Fine Arts, New School University, Art Student's League, School of Visual Arts with Bruno Licchesi, Victor D'Amico Institute, Amagansett Applied Arts, The Golden Eagle and with Janet Jennings and Dennis Leri.
