Jerry started to draw as most of us did with wax crayons.
He just he never stopped.
He is compelled to do it and he has spent most of his waking hours creating.
He was born in a sleepy town in Ontario. He won recognition from the community and McLeans magazine while still in primary school. His work was exhibited during this time.
At sixteen he headed off on his exploration of the world moving eight times in his first three years on his own, selling in private and group exhibitions ending up in the Rockies and eventually on the West Coast and shortly after in Asia and Europe. He has been in twenty countries so far with plans to see more.
