Born and raised in the Rocky Mountains, I have always had a love for the vastness of the region, as well as the beauty all around. The inspiration for my artwork is derived from the experiences of being raised in the Rocky Mountains, whether is be landscapes or wildlife. Each medium lends it own magic to the creation of my artwork.
In my stone carvings, the forms are held within the stone waiting to be released. It is a dance of labor and love, fatigue and fascination as the image emerges. Only by participation in this dance can the beauty of the stone be brought forth for all to see.
Jerry learned how to stone carve in 1979 at Blackhawk School of Art. Taught by Robert Lockhart, Jerry was a natural in working with the stone. Jerry began selling his artwork professionally in 1993 and most recently built a studio on his property that allows him to work on several pieces at once and still have room to move around or to teach workshops. Jerry also works in school settings, is currently working with local boy scouts and teaches individual classes.
