Born in South Dakota in 1951, Jerry Ford has lived the American dream.  At a young age, Jerry had a passion for art, so much so that he pursued a college degree in art. While in college, he had a decisive moment of meeting his soon-to-be wife, and together they began their journey. 

He artistically navigated his professional career from employee to business owner, culminating with the sale of his business and retirement.  The birth of his grandchildren followed the retirement. These remarkable events brought him back to his artistic passion.

Jerry draws inspiration from living in many different environments, from mountains to deserts.  He uses a slashing style that torments his love for color that is only liberated by his abstract creations in the paintings.
