For more about Jerry and his art visit www.jerrymarkham.com
Jerry Markham was born in Alberta, Canada in November 1978 and in recent years moved to British Columbia where he currently resides.
He attended art school for a short time and disappointed with the school's abstract-oriented program he left to follow his desire to learn representational painting by studying with established artists such as Doug Swinton, Jean Geddes and William F. Reese.
Jerry's interests, experiences and travels play a significant role in the subjects he chooses to paint. His focus as a painter is to represent nature and human activity in an artistic fashion in order to leave a history for others to enjoy and experience through his expression of a subject.
Painting from life is very important to Jerry in order to capture and represent the true essence of a subject. Painting with established artists and taking workshops from the likes of Ned Jacob, has really instilled the importance of painting from life and gaining knowledge of your subject. His typical process includes doing drawings and small studies of his subject from life, then he completes a larger painting in the studio. His medium of choice is oil.
He comments: "Painting, for me, has evolved into a series of life experiences. It is a personal journey of discovery, challenges, and an exploration of knowledge. I am always surprised as to what subjects I find interesting and beautiful."
Jerry, whose paintings are collected worldwide, is currently a member of the Oil Painters of America and Federation of Canadian Artists. His work has been in Southwest Art, American Art Collector, International Artist, The Artist's Magazine, and the Canadian Brushstroke Magazine.

"Paint in the snow, get caught in the rain and see how your paintings will have a unique sense of not only the place, but of your experience."…
