By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two
12-piece Exhibitions of works by American contemporary Impressionist painter Jerry Inman (born 1946 in Billings, Montana).
Born and raised in Montana, Jerry began painting the landscape in early High School. He completed his formal education at Eastern Montana College in Billings, where he earned his Bachelors degree in Art Education under the guidance of renowned educator and artist, Ben Steele. Upon graduation he spent 7 years teaching art in Great Falls Public Schools. Since that time he has concentrated his efforts on developing his skills as an accomplished painter.
Jerry is most interested in observing the effects of weather, atmosphere and lighting on the landscape. He strives to convey through the use of color and drama the excitement he feels when inspired.
He has participated in numerous one-man and group shows in Montana and throughout the United States including Arts For The Parks; Oil Painters Of America; the Kansas Pastel Society, and the Pastel Society of America. Jerry's honors include the Award of Merit for Landscape at Arts For The Parks in Jackson, Wy.; Purchase Award for the National Parks Foundation; Best of Show at the National Western Art Show in Ellesburg, Wa., Peoples Choice award at the Montana Fair in Billings, Mt., and the Trailside Gallery Award for Best and Brightest in Scottsdale, Az.
