Traveling the world piloting large ships and sailboats as a professional navigator in the days of celestial navigation, and surfing since the ’50’s, created a deep connection with the ocean. A lifetime of backpacking and rock climbing and a love of nature has inspired Jerry’s watercolors, where he tries to capture moments of beauty, energy and serenity. Jerry is a self-taught artist and has been a featured artist at galleries and venues in Ventura and Cambria - winning multiple awards at juried shows.
