Artist Biography
Jerry
McWilliams was born in 1945 in Durant, Oklahoma. Jerry
graduated from Southeastern Oklahoma State University
in 1969 and moved his wife Janet and their family to
Dallas, Texas. There, he worked as an engineering draftsman
for Texas Instruments until 1974, when he returned to
Oklahoma. Jerry has been professionally exhibiting his
art since 1981.
"I want my work to reflect a
love of color and the dramatic interplay of light
and shadow. I hope my painting, whether on location
or in the studio, will show a passion for the actual
application of the paint itself."
Jerry has attended workshops under
such noted artists as Albert Handell and Kevin MacPherson,
as well as giving his own workshops and demonstrations.
Jerry and his family now live on the "old home
place" which is a 120 acre farm and ranch bordered
on the south by the Blue River, where Jerry gets much
of his subject matter and inspiration.
Jerry is a member of such organizations
as Oil Painters of America and Pastel Society of America.
He has exhibited in several museums such as Gilcrease
and Philbrook in Tulsa and the National Cowboy Hall
of Fame in Oklahoma City. He has also been awarded
acceptance into The American Plains Artists Show,
American Art in Miniature Show, a workspace fellowship
at the Woodstock School of Art, and numerous placings
at the Southwest Pastel society in Dallas Texas.
