Jerry Shearing

Jerry Shearing and his partner Andrea Shearing create and teach at their studio in Sussex South Downs, UK. To capture nature and the environment, they also have a travel studio—a converted classic French fire engine referred to as the “Location Studio.” Jerry trained at Eastbourne School of Art. His work is based on the dynamics of nature and the interaction of nature with the elements. His work expresses his reaction to sounds, smells, the colors, and textures, as well as the movements and interplay of sunlight, rain, and wind. He works largely with acrylic paint on canvas using only the primary colors mixed on the palette or on the canvas itself. His influences are the Impressionists, Expressionists and Abstract Expressionists.
