Hello from Jerry Ruggiero
Hello to everyone and thanks for having me. I was born in 1946. I'm lucky to be alive and luckier to be a painter. I studied with Joseph Solman, the Expressionist painter, while I was enrolled at CCNY's Art Dept. I was also invited to the National Academy where I had the rare advantage of seeing amazing art being made by amazing world class artists. Art is everything to me and it is everything that I am. Always has been and always will be. My life is a constant search for perfect artistic expression. Does anyone else wonder where we might be going or what might be the next great "movement" in art? I'm very happy to be part of your fine group. Best regards to you all.

Edification
I guess I should have mentioned that the first painting is my own self portrait, the second is that of a Native American who wandered by as I was painting in the train yards of Phoenix, Arizona one day and the last is a portrait of Ron Rose who is a new friend of mine. Ron told me, when I asked him to pose for me, that he should "...smile, because [he had] some real interestin' teeth!" What a great guy. If you're ever in Az stop by Wittman and you'll see Ron sitting out in front of the first house you come to.
