Born and raised in Montana, Jerry Inman began
painting the landscape in early High School.   He
completed his formal education at Montana State
University Billings under the guidance of Ben Steele
where he earned his Bachelors degree in Art
Education.  Upon graduation he spent 7 years teaching
art in the Great Falls Public Schools.  Since that time
he has concentrated his efforts on developing his skills
as an accomplished painter.

Jerry is most interested in observing the effects of
weather, atmosphere, and lighting on the landscape.  
He strives to convey through the use of color and
drama the excitement he feels when inspired.

He has participated in numerous one man and group
shows in Montana and throughout the United States,
including Arts For the Parks, Oil Painters Of America,
and the Pastel Society of America,  and a 4 man show
in Carmel, Ca.

Jerry's honors include Award of Merit for Landscape at
Arts For The Parks in Jackson, Wy.,  Purchase Award
for the National Parks Foundation, Best of Show other
Media at the National Western Art Show in Ellensburg,
Wa., and theTrailside Gallery Award for Best and
Brightest in Scottsdale, Az.
