JERRY JORDAN
Jerry Jordan arrived in Taos, New Mexico
in 1964 and immediately was captivated by the beauty, the community and
the historic artists that came before him. He
studied the paintings by the Taos Founders and the few that were still alive
shared their thoughts with him and strongly influenced the direction that
his paintings would take.
As a boy in high school, in West Texas,
he was first exposed to the world of an art when he came upon professional
artist, W.R.Thrasher’s studio, and eventually convinced the artist to mentor
him. Jordan
had never seen so many paintings in his life, from still life, seascapes,
and landscapes and it totally captivated him. It
inspired him to learn as much as he could from Thrasher and it gave him
the basic foundation for his future as an artist.
Spending his time between Texas
and Taos, Jordan continues to paint the Taos landscape and life at the Pueblo. He was adopted in 1984 by the Reyna
family from the Taos Pueblo and for a short time lived with them. He
has developed a deep understanding and respect for the Pueblo Indians
and it is reflected in his paintings. That same year, he and his wife Marilyn,
bought an adobe home on the Taos Historic Register where they lived along
with their two daughters for many years.
Jordan
paints with an authenticity, whatever interests him, mostly Pueblo Indian
subject matter, Southwest landscapes, flowers, adobes, and bold images
of New York City.
