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.
