Jerry Seagle: Humanity
The word “Katrina” evokes many visual images. An event that displaced objects, emotions, and humanity. The turmoil, the confusion and the chaos are represented. The people are what tie this series together. They are the ones that will make the difference.

He received a graduate fellowship to further his studies at the University of the Americas in Mexico City.  Jerry relies on the strength of design and rich color to create his bold compositions. He works with various media; acrylic on paper, collage and mixed media on paper, acrylic on canvas and Prislors. He combines the freedom and expression of Abstraction to suggest and evoke rather than direction the viewer.  Jerry’s one-man shows number more that 200.

His paintings have been reproduced in several articles on experimental painting.  Jerry has extensive teaching experience, including workshops in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Nebraska, South Carolina and North Carolina.
