Collection: Jerry Markham
"I want to capture the essence of a subject more than the specifics," Jerry explains. "If the work is loose and a bit undone, there is more room for the viewer to interpret, to access the painting through their own imaginings."
Jerry's diverse portfolio reflects his multifaceted inspirations: the majestic wilderness surrounding his home, his travels, and his fascination with history. His work spans wildlife portraits, sweeping landscapes, human subjects, vibrant florals, and evocative scenes from the historical West.
What distinguishes Jerry's artistic approach is his commitment to creative evolution. He continuously challenges himself by experimenting with composition, lighting, color palettes, and paint application techniques. His distinctive style features bold brushstrokes and expressive palette knife work that create deliberate imperfections and abstract elements within his pieces.
Jerry's artistic excellence has earned recognition in prestigious publications including Southwest Art, Western Art Collector, Western Art & Architecture, and International Artist. His award-winning work appears in galleries throughout North America, cementing his reputation as a leading voice in contemporary Canadian art.
Jerry has dedicated over twenty years to painting full-time from his ranch in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, where he lives with his wife Leah.
