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.
