Jerry Pond -Plein Air Painter

Born, and raised in Ottawa, Canada. I now reside in Cottonwood, AZ.

Studied at the American Academy Of Art in Chicago, IL.

I taught etching at the Palette & Chisel Academy in Chicago, IL. for 2 1/2 years.

My education really started after leaving the academy, and sought my own expression in Plein Air Painting. I now have discovered my greatest teacher, Mother Nature.My quest is endless in my attempt to capture the beauty that nature so generously provides.
