Jerry Baron is a self-taught painter who lives on southern Oregon coast and has his studio in the historic old Citizens Building, North Bend. He works in oil bar and/or acrylic on paper, hardboard and canvas. His works are known for their brilliant colors and oftentimes social commentary. He has exhibited in Portland, Oregon, for 15 years and, as his resume indicates, several other locations in and out of the state. The welcome screen at www.artmodo.com shows an overview of some of his works. A more sophisticated gallery of many new paintings will be online shortly. See the contact page to get in touch.
