 Born in Dublin's liberties in 1936, he studied art in the National College of Art, under Sean Keating and Maurice McGonical P.R.H.A. While at first painting for pleasure he was soon taken on by Combridges in Grafton Street and due to a fast growing demand for his work he gave up his job in 1970 to paint full time. Jerry has been showing painting in Combridges since 1968. He specialises in west of Ireland landscapes. He visits the west many times during the year always looking for new subjects and vistas in the every changing light in Connemara. Jerry has had many one man shows in Dublin and Galway. His paintings are very popular with visitors to Ireland as they are realistic and true of the rural landscape. |
