Jerry Brown

Although he had originally planned to become an artist, Jerry graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with an engineering degree. Since moving to Huntsville in 1960, he has stayed in touch with his artistic leanings by studying with Jack Dempsey, Billy Kirk and Robert Bean. Since his retirement in 1994, he has studied at UAH with Mark Marchlinski, Andrew Winn, Blu Smith, and Jill Johnson. Attending the Cape Cod School of Art in 1997 greatly influenced his approach to painting in the Impressionistic style. Jerry has always been attracted to both the French Impressionists and Post-impressionist, and has pursued these avenues in his contemporary paintings. He has also developed a unique approach to painting in his occasional “prismatic” paintings that break up the image into pieces that resemble stained glass. He has won many awards, including “Best of Show” at the Madison Art League Show in 2000 and the Monte Sano Art Show in 2005. He has exhibited in most of the galleries in the Tennessee Valley area and has shown at the Huntsville Museum of Art in the Red Clay Survey in 2000, the Unique Views of Huntsville in 2005 – 2007, and the Local Color Show in 2005.
