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 of the Taos Founders, which 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.
