Tennessee native Jerry Adams is a typical artist -- if you can call any artist typical -- in that art is his passion. His urge to find self expression is what drives him to create. Jerry is gratified when viewers like what they see, yet approval -- or the lack of it -- has no significant effect on his motivation. Still, he has the hope of finding enough exposure and acceptance to make his art a viable enterprise. While this is the daunting challenge all artists encounter, Jerry faces the additional hurdle of cerebral palsy, which in his case profoundly affects his motor skills.

Though largely a self-styled painter, Jerry studied under Hazel King at the Centennial Park Art Center in Nashville, Tennessee. With the encouragement, instruction, and assistance of a few gifted art hobbyists on staff at his support agency (Progress, Inc.), Jerry was able to adapt his materials to accommodate his disability. Jerry began producing a body of work in both water-color and acrylic. He has since developed a surreal, abstract style in which color and shape randomly collide to purposefully express raw, murky emotion as well as joyous freedom and release.

Note: Opening reception will be held Friday, January 30 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
