Biography
Growing up just east of the Rocky Mountains, Jerry Markham was often exposed to wildlife and nature. He began drawing and painting in high school and has since been painting full-time for over 20 years.
Markham currently resides on a ranch in the Rockies with his wife and their animals. The landscape and wildlife around him, travel, and an interest in history shape his work ‘ whether painting wildlife, people, florals, or scenes of the West.
Jerry’s work has been featured in publications including Southwest Art, Western Art Collector, Western Art & Architecture, received recognition through awards, and can be found in galleries and events across North America.
