Jerry grew up in Inglis & Arborg Mb.  Those formative years gave him a deep appreciation for nature & art. Wildlife paintings & cartoons of friends were commonplace. Jerry chose Policing as a career & soon became an accomplished Police/forensic artist. When he retired to Arborg, he opened a studio.  It was ironic that he studied at the Scottsdale Artists school & decades later returned as a snowbird.  It was in Arizona where he started his 1st book of cartoons “Snowbird Sketches (Emil goes south for the winter)”.   Book # 2 “The Rusty years” will soon be released.  The books laugh at getting old.  Arizona also introduced him to growing & painting gourds.  Sculpting and creating theme trolls during the insolation and pandemic lockdowns has given us some Must See new items.

His art is inspired by his son Steve who passed from Brain Cancer at 31 yrs.  

“Live your life with a sense of humour and never waste a day.”
