My Story
Alicia B. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I've had the innate love of creating art since as far back as I can remember. My older sister teases me that I liked drawing so much, that when I was 3 years old, I climbed over her bed and ate her crayons that she had tried to hide from me. So, if I take my sister's view on things, you could say that art is truly within me. I still have a great many drawings from early elementary school all the way through college. During my early 20s and 30s, however, due to things I had no real control over, my passion for art dwindled.
In a nut shell the events leading up to the turmoil began when I was 7 years old. Around 1983 I was diagnosed with psoriasis. Shortly thereafter my pediatrician retired. The first time I remember immense pain was in 4th grade but it wasn't until I was 22 that I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. I was told for 15+ years that I had growing pains and I'd get over it. Essentially, I was told that I was seeking attention, as well as, "just" fat and lazy. During my 30s, I had my left knee replaced (and it doesn't work and still causes pain), both hips were replaced, and I went on permanent disability. I think losing the ability to work full time hurt worse than the physical pain at the time. It was actually my manager who ultimately convinced me to file for disability because she couldn't stand seeing me in so much pain every day nor how much effort it took to do even the smaller tasks in the office.
Eventually things began to improve, at least mentally and emotionally as I came to terms with my health. Physically, I have other joints that are bone on bone and ambulate with either forearm crutches or a wheelchair. In 2015, I fell in love and through some of my social interactions with my boyfriend, I was introduced to a local professional artist who quickly became my friend.
My new artistic friend wanted to see some of my previous drawings and paintings. He convinced me to take part in the next local art walk. I had serious doubts and reservations, but he was kind enough to be there for me every step of the way. Also, during this time another new friend convinced me to start going to a free watercolor study group in a neighboring town. It's a group that meets every Tuesday morning where local artists get together to socialize while creating their own artwork. Since then, I've met many wonderful new friends and artists who have further solidified the rekindling of my passion for art.
I'm now addicted to art again and enjoy creating in a multitude of mediums including: watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil, graphite, pastels, ink, marker, mixed media, and some photography. I once again found my childhood creativity and pretty much live, breathe, and dream art once more."

Jerry's Artarama has everything I need on a budget. I'm a community college Art student, and I honestly don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found out about Jerry's. My first art professor told us about the store when he gave us a list of products we needed for the semester. I'm unemployed because when I don't have classes, I choose to stay home with my Grandma who has heart problems, and my Grandpa who previously had not, one but two heart attacks and a stroke. So, if it weren't for such great deals at Jerry's, I wouldn't have the materials I needed to make it in the world of Art.

Del C. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
I am a retired guy, 72, and have a modestly successful second career as an abstract artist. I have always loved the artistic freedom revealed to us by Jackson Pollock, and went in that direction. I am self-taught, and paint in oils on 40" or 48" canvases. Since I am retired and on a slender income, Jerry's is important to me because I get the price and quality of canvas and stretcher bars that I need. I was a librarian in my work life, so I did my research on art supplies when I started painting and no one comes close to Jerry's in price and quality.

Lugenia D. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
I am a retired psychology professor who has always loved to draw. While I was working full-time in the early 1990s, I joined an artists' guild and started trying to learn to paint by teaching myself, and going to a few demonstrations and workshops. I retired from teaching in 2010 and have been focused on learning to paint since then. Painting is an expensive hobby, especially when you are exploring with different media and trying to find your niche. I try to save a little money by taking advantage of sales and free shipping deals at Jerry's Artarama. Jerry's Artarama is helping me accomplish my goal of being an "Artist" instead of a hobby artist.

Debbie H. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
I've always been involved in art, but it wasn't until after my daughter graduated from college that I had the time to pursue this endeavor. My concentration has always been wildlife art and I became greatly inspired by Robert Bateman. I won a spot in the "Guild of Natural Science Illustrators" exhibit and knew this was all I wanted to do. There I met a professor from Northern Illinois University who urged me to continue formal training, which I did. I love using Holbein and M. Graham oils and watercolors because their pigments and vibrancy are amazing, especially the Native American Grass Dancers I'm working on. They really capture the vivid ribbons and beadwork. I teach oil and watercolor workshops and recommend Jerry's.

Sarah T. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
A year ago I got a concussion that forced me to retire from my job as an RN. That is the bad news. The good news is that I found myself with time to paint, something I had wanted to do for a very long time. The last time I painted was when I was in my 20's; I am now pushing 60 so there is no time like the present. In the past year I have taken 3 different classes each with a different focus requiring different media. Fortunately Jerry's made it affordable for me to take the classes and pursue something I love. I am still learning and my creations are my own but painting provides me with immense joy and challenges me to see the world through new eyes.

I am a full time abstract and mixed media artist. I left the corporate world last year to pursue my love for painting full time. I found Jerry's and know that WHATEVER I need, I can go to them and have a lot of choices. I purchase my paints to very large canvases, and have actually called Jerry's for advice and they are there for me. Because of Jerry's, I can concentrate on my painting and art and build my business. I am also self-taught and love the links to training. I can live my dream and paint and know I have the support of my friends at Jerry's.

Laura M. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
Jerry's carries all the paper I need for my watercolor batiks!! I love that I can get what I need with a click or two of the mouse, and keep on creating! I painted as a child next to my Grandmother in her basement studio on summer breaks. I've always loved art, but as I became an adult I pushed it aside. 7 children later, I decided I needed something for myself. I picked up art again about two years ago and have been painting professionally! Never again will my art get pushed to the back burner. It is part of my soul and part of what makes me who I am.

Barbara M. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
I am a self-taught artist, who at the age of 16 had a near-fatal motorcycle wreck that left me partially paralyzed for nearly a year. I didn't paint or draw again for 30 years. On a mini-vacation, I bought a pair of feather earrings with a painting on them, and paid a lot for them; when I got home I kicked myself. "I can do this!" I robbed my husband's trophy turkey fan and began painting and drawing on everything– feathers, bone, canvas– everything. I like to celebrate my Native Heritage in my art. Since I now am disabled due to that wreck, I can't shop in stores. Online stores like Jerry's are a Godsend!

Robb M. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
Five years ago, after years of artistic inactivity, I became re-inspired in art. I dug out some old tubes of acrylic paints and began to paint. It wasn't long before I discovered the Jerry's in Austin. My palette of paints quickly expanded. I was amazed by the diversity of media, and the supplies and accessories I found on their shelves. Jerry's wide selection has allowed me find my niche and dabble in everything from pastels to watercolors to silk-screening. Posed to retire and begin painting full time, I know I will continue to find Jerry's an invaluable resource to my career.

Angela Shearer Artist | Jerry's Shopper
Art has been a part of my life since I was little, and I would like to grow in the industry of art. Everyone has heard that knowledge is key, and I believe in that a lot as well. I also believe that art isn't just colors, or shades of black and white on a canvas. I believe that it is something that moves with us, something that excites our souls. Art is in everything we find; houses, buildings, museums, even just landscapes there is form of art that make people stop and think "Wow". Jerry's Artarama has the perfect tools that any artist would be pleased with. The variety in the supplies this shop have great quality, and the prices are amazing. I want to create art that makes people see in a new light. Art that would make them think, "How in the world did they think of that?". Although I have this big dream, I do have a lot to learn, but I want the challenges that art gives me. Art is a part of my life, and I want to evolve in my skills to reach beyond my goal as an artist, and enlighten new people about the world of art.

Pamela Garrett Artist | Jerry's Shopper
I have loved to draw as long as I can remember. My mother loved to draw, as well. She spent a lot of time with me, teaching me to draw. In my thirties, I began to attend a senior citizen's art class with my mom. The teacher volunteered her considerable talents, working with mostly folks in their late 60's and older. I absolutely loved everything about the class. The classes ended after about a year or so, but I have continued to paint, watching videos and reading books. Recently, at the tender age of 60, I rented a gallery/workspace at a new gallery in my hometown. I am excited and a bit scared at my new venture. I depend on Jerry's (and have done so for years) to keep plenty of paints, brushes, and canvases to create whatever I choose to attempt. Always excellent quality, and I get any order quickly delivered!

Cathleen Nardo Artist | Jerry's Shopper
My mother was an artist, so we were always creating in my childhood home, making everything from ornate homemade Valentines to tie dyed clothing. I always loved it; art was a daily part of our lives.
However, I spent my early years pursuing singing, acting and dancing, eventually professionally in NYC. As many of us in that profession do, I changed careers in my forties to a job with a steady income in the corporate world. In search of a new creative outlet, I took a class in botanical illustration and have been a passionate visual artist ever since.
Having traded NYC for suburban New Jersey, I was lucky enough to discover Jerry’s, both the storefront and their online presence. Especially when trying new media, it’s wonderful to be able to see and touch the materials. I love exploring the aisles and shelves of Jerry’s and always discover something new I want to try. Their salespeople are knowledgeable and helpful.
On the other hand, since I still work full time, the convenience of ordering what I need online is invaluable. Their selection is wonderful and the prices are fair.
In two years I will retire and become a full time artist again, although, this time, as a painter. I’m sure I will continue to be inspired by what I find at Jerry’s.

Wendy Ward Artist | Jerry's Shopper
One of my fondest memories as a child was sitting at my mother's feet with an assortment of paints and crayons and paper being an artist while my mother did her artwork above. As I got older, I got discouraged that I could not do work as well as she, and gradually stopped doing painting all together. I dabbled in ceramics and sewing to ease my creative energy but always yearned to paint again. After my mother passed, she left all her art supplies to me, and still it took years for me to start it up again. Once I retired, I started taking in all the sources of training I could get my hands on -- youtube, videos, workshops and finally a wonderful acrylic instructor. I realize now that my mother may have been better at drawing than I, but my paintings are just different. I have learned not to compare and not to judge. I am retired and on a steady income, and I wouldn't be able to continue to try all the different media I want without Jerry's great variety of products and wonderful sales. I can also count on getting free shipping on almost every order and quick delivery as well. I keep well stocked with all the supplies I need now to keep my creative love flowing. If only I hadn't waited until I was in my 60's to get started. Well, better late than never, I say. I thank my mother for the encouragement from my earliest years and Jerry for providing everything I need to keep going!

Debbie Ali Artist | Jerry's Shopper
During my years at St. Lawrence University, I lived in and managed a theme house called the Artist Guild. While there, I was able to lead themed workshops, host art events, as well as curate and coordinate a student exhibition.
Living at the Artist Guild, as well as being a house coordinator allowed me to utilize my skills developed from my liberal arts degree. With access to materials, I was able to practice art everyday. I was able to expand my knowledge of art culturally and anthropologically, by talking about and doing with art with others.
To me, art is power. Art is a vehicle for communication, learning, love, community building, and appreciation. Culture and diversity can be exemplified through art, and these works have a power that can reach broader audiences.
Through Jerry’s Artarma, I am finding so many wonderful tools and materials that I would have loved the Artist Guild and people in the St. Lawrence and art community to have access to. I wish to become an art educator, and while I am walking on my career path, I will definitely purchase materials from this inspiring community. These tools will assist me in teaching others, and helping others to grow within themselves and gain the self-confidence and power to flourish in their art and in life.

Hannah ineson Artist | Jerry's Shopper
Although I was born into a very artistic family going back generations, I didn't do much with art until adulthood when I discovered a natural talent for drawing. After a long start-and-stop endeavor, while raising a family, I finally got serious about 20 years ago and have been a professional painter and workshop teacher ever since. After years of watercolor painting, I now paint primarily in oil, although I love teaching Illustrated Watercolor Journaling, in which I can help beginners have a positive experience. I get all the journaling supplies for classes as well as my paints, canvas, and paper from Jerry's because I can get everything I need at a great price - and I love the special deals!

Conny Jasper Artist | Jerry's Shopper
For many years, I worked with limited drawing and painting materials as art was only a hobby for me. In the past few years, I have experienced a burst in creativity and I have focused more on my craft. I have been inspired to branch out and experiment and try different types of media and styles. Discovering Jerry’s Artarama has enabled me to purchase excellent quality materials at great prices. They have a wide selection that I can choose from, and I have been very satisfied with everything I have ordered. With such a selection of media and colors, I can produce a variety of work in a highly satisfying way.

My name is Rob Price and I live in the Galveston, Texas area. I was diagnosed, a while back, with mental illness which really put a damper on my creative side. Recently, my fiance' picked me up some art supplies and encouraged me to start painting again, like I did when I was younger. I have taken his advice and I am so glad that I did. As every artist does, I look for quality art supplies at a reasonable price; which I have found at Jerry's. Thank you Jerry's for supplying the products I need to create my artwork and further provide a mental illness sufferer an outlet to be free.

Johanna Doran Artist | Jerry's Shopper
I have always been artistic. In high school I took advanced art and considered going to art school. However, like many aspiring artists, my family talked me into business school instead. For years, I had a career in the computer industry, unfortunately not having enough time to devote to my artistic endeavors. At the age of 42, I had a stroke due to a then undiagnosed chronic autoimmune disorder leaving me unable to return to work. This gave me the opportunity to return to art. Since I would be hospitalized regularly, I picked up a package of watercolor pencils and a water brush as they were very portable. This started my love affair with watercolor pencils which is now my medium of choice. I love laying down the colors and then activating them with water. It is always an exciting surprise to see the colors appear so vibrant and move on the paper in different ways. Each piece is always exciting and different and I learn new things with each painting that I do. I have received many compliments on my work and have even sold a print of one of my paintings! I feel very blessed to have been able to return to my first love after all of these years. I continue exploring watercolor pencils and look forward to many years of enjoying painting!

Edward Farber Artist | Jerry's Shopper
I've been using art for my vocation and avocation since I was a kid, and that's a long time ago as I'm 84. I was a commercial artist working in ad agencies at first, then had my own agency until retirement. All that time, I painted for my own pleasure. After retirement, I began my website, www.farberart.com and started to sell prints of my paintings. It's been a long and satisfying love affair--art and me, and I'm still at it almost every day. I also teach art classes and recommend Jerry's Artarama as a convenient and reasonably priced source for art supplies.

Barnie Slice Artist | Jerry's Shopper
Beginning in High School art class in the late 50's I started painting pictures of what I saw around me, mostly landscapes and seascapes. Today, at age 76, I have been painting at least 25 to 50 paintings a year for 61 years. I have painted tens of thousands of pictures and even had 2 of them in the White House in Washington, DC during the Reagan era. I still paint almost every day, teach art in the adult education program at Coastal Carolina University of Myrtle Beach, SC two days a week and have part ownership in an art gallery here in Pawleys Island. I may not be as physically able as I once was but I am still burning with the passion to paint and teach after all these years. I can't wait to get in front of an easel or a class full of students to paint and share my knowledge of painting with all I meet. God has blessed me with a great talent and I am using it to the best of my ability.

I am a self-taught artist of Dominican and Puerto Rican heritage. I am originally from Bronx, New York and currently live in Savannah, Georgia with my husband and three children. I am grateful and honored to be a part of something bigger than myself and becoming an artist is exactly what turned my life around for the better. As a veteran of the United States Army I did not have time to pursue the arts, but after being honorably discharged I decided that I wanted to find a way to communicate what I was feeling to the world. My experience background and experience has influenced me to see the world in colors and in light. I chose to paint landscapes because they are representations of universal truth and beauty. We all see things from a different color and light. Jerry’s has been great a providing me with good quality products at the low-price that I can afford. As a mother of three, it is great to find an online website that delivers quality products very quickly. I will continue to purchase my art supplies from Jerry’s in the future.

As a full time artist I realize the importance of flexibility and changing with the times and economy. Jerry's always has new offerings to inspire me in ways I hadn't considered before. I still need to pay the mortgage so finding something that I know will generate income as well as keep my passion going is crucial. I recently discovered these mini mats at a great price. Living on the Outer Banks, they are the perfect affordable way to showcase my local landscapes, creating an affordable memory for our visitors.

Creating Art makes me happy. I'v been drawing all my life. I love to help clients enhance their homes and capture what they treasure most on canvas. Walking through Jerry's and gets me inspired by the many varied kinds of paints, canvases and so much more. My mural/portrait business helped me raise my kids with part time hours. Now I am currently transferring my business to an Etsy shop. I know Jerry's will help get me there. I teach kindergarten and love to guide my students to do layered art projects. One day I plan to teach part time and paint full time. Thank you Jerry for making this dream affordable and possible.

"I had been a stay at home mom for 10 years before coming back to my art. It was like a homecoming for me! But in those 10 years much had changed and suddenly there was a whole world to explore online that hadn't been available to me 10 years ago. Suddenly I was engulfed in resources and inspiration from all over the world. It could get a bit overwhelming at times! Now that I've been at this for a while, I've been able to weed through all these resources and found a few mainstays. Jerry's is one of them. I've been continually impressed with the quality items at low prices- and if I need cheaper, student- grade products, Jerry's has that too! Jerry's has allowed me to get on with creating and leave behind worrying about where my supplies would come from. Thanks, Jerry's!"

Brent J. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I have thought of painting for quite a long time, but turning 64 made me think of a bucket list. So, before I kicked the bucket, I bought some paints and began to imitate my favorite artist, Claude Monet. His haystacks have always amazed me. I recently learned that the display of about 15 of those haystacks paintings in Paris on May 1, 1891. He changed art that day. One critic said the viewer was, "In the presence of sensations of place and of time in the harmonious and melancholic flow of sunsets, ends of day, and gentle dawns." I have had a great time in the past 6 months diving into real oil painting. I love Jerry's Artarama because of the range of good products. I had to return something and they were excellent. My goal: at least one time painting each of Monet's haystacks."

"When I injured my left hand, I was left unable to continue my tattoo career, but my right and dominant hand was still OK! I turned to drawing and painting to help heal my body and my heart. Jerry's had all the supplies I needed to get started drawing and painting again after years of only focusing on my tattoo art. Now, I have discovered Arches oil paper that lets me paint like I always wanted to - glazing oils like watercolors and building up a beautiful richness to the portraits I create. I believe everyone has an inner beauty that the world needs to see, and I am so thankful to help people see their innate beauty through my eyes. I'm grateful for the high-quality resources that Jerry's provides to help me make my creations the best they can be."

With their quality products and prompt service, and last but not least, unbeatable prices, I'll be a customer for life.

"I have a pair of red boxer gloves that hang from my studio window. They symbolize the fight of a lifetime to develop as an artist. As my artist journey began to unfold, emotions tanked when a painting was ruined with just one brushstroke or well-thought out plans didn't materialize. I'd look at those gloves and hear the tune of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Boxer" in my head and I would go on. More than twenty years ago, I discovered Jerry's Artarama. Through those years, my experiences with Jerry's have been consistent; name brand supplies at the best prices and orders carefully packaged and shipped. I count on Jerry's!"

"There had a been a lurking desire in me for many, many years to paint. Finally at age 57, I found an art teacher and my journey began. I took lessons from her for about 2 years and have taken several workshops. The greatest joy has been being able to paint or pencil draw new babies in my family and grandchildren of my friends.The highlight of my painting so far has been the opportunity to paint the submitted painting which is of the newly adopted son of my friend's daughter. After many years of waiting, they recently went to China to bring him home. He is 9 years old, loves basketball, and his dad is a high school basketball coach. This painting captures true delight and joy!"

"I am an artist, and in my mind have always been. My mom said when I was four years old, my bus driver put me on his shoulders and walked me across the risen creek to the other side so I could get home, and the whole way across all I could say was, 'Don't let my artwork get wet!' In high school, after taking all the art classes offered, the art teacher made an Art III class just so I could take art my senior year. I went to college for an art degree but after 2 and a half years I stayed home to raise my family, but always found ways to use my art. Twenty-five years later I have just finished my senior show and am getting ready to graduate with a BFA with an emphasis in painting, and I'm loving it!"

"In 2009, at age 53, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Six months after my diagnosis, I wound up in the hospital with a case of diverticulitis gone bad (I almost died), and had two surgeries for that. It was after my first surgery that I decided to try a watercolor class at the local community adult education center. I had NO prior experience with any kind of art. I just like watercolor paintings. Everyone said, "Oh, watercolors—that's hard!" I didn't know any better. I didn't even know watercolors came in tubes, or what a watercolor palette was! I have been taking watercolor classes since January 2010, and love it! My dining room is no longer a dining room—it's my art room. I discovered that while I'm not great at landscapes, I am good at animals. I found a new passion in my 50s, and I love it."

"In 2002 I was diagnosed with craniopharyngioma (brain tumor), and I have other medical conditions caused by my brain tumor as well. I am an artist and a writer. I work with mostly mixed media using acrylic paint and different textures. I have taken workshops here and there but most of what I know about art is self-taught. I put my heart and soul into my art and all that I've been through has only motivated me. Because of my medical conditions, I can't work a regular job so it's kind of hard for me to get money to do what I love. When I don't have the money to buy my supplies to keep doing what I love, I get depressed. Art is a huge part of my life and it keeps me going everyday despite all that I've been through."

"I am a nationally known, award winning plein air painter and studio painter. Painting is my passion and my profession. I knew as a young child when I first discovered crayons and paint that I wanted to be an artist. Being in nature and painting are two of my favorite pastimes and plein air painting allows me to do both at the same time. I have maintained a studio in Laguna Beach for the past twenty years. It provides me with an indoor sanctuary in which to paint and also to teach workshops which is another passion. It is rewarding as an artist/teacher to see your students succeed in achieving their goals. Jerry's has been a wonderful resource for paints, brushes and other art supplies. I recommend it to my students and I find items that I cannot find elsewhere."

"My life has not been easy; I was a very hyper and curious kid, troubled teenager, who grew up with a mom who had serious mental health issues. Music and art were my salvation in high school. After graduation I couldn't settle on a job, by the time my daughter was born I became a nurse. I was content for about 6 years. Then bouts of severe depression and panic eventually destroyed my life. I lost everything. In 2008 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It's been a long road, but I have been doing well for the past 4 years, except for my zest for life. I was existing, not really happy. This past Christmas my sister purchased enough supplies for me to start painting again. I can't tell you how it has changed everything. I have been asked for 4 paintings, 2 of which I finished. My self-esteem is so much better. She bought everything from your site. I can't thank you enough."

"I am 77 years old, live in Maine, and have ordered my art supplies from Jerry's for decades. I enjoy browsing through their catalogs on cold winter nights and during summertime when relaxing under a shade tree. Jerry's abundant selection of supplies & equipment can't be found at the art & department stores in our three nearby cities. The prices are unbeatable. I order online and always place orders large enough to qualify for free shipping. It makes my bookkeeping simpler. Last year I bought a set of Dryden Canvas Keepers on sale thanks to their email advertising. When I took my first art lesson at age 29, I intended it to be a hobby. Now, almost 50 years later, I am supplementing my retirement income selling at a sidewalk art show annually and through the Internet."

"I have been a registered nurse for the last 24 years, retired for the last few after a critical illness on a travel assignment. The running joke at our house when anyone asks, 'Is this your husband?' I'll reply, 'This is my fishing buddy!' For me, painting with pastels is a way of remembering the places wave been. When I became ill while far away from home, I'm told that I didn't show much improvement until the nurses gave me a message from my husband. 'Tell her that her fishing buddy is on his way!' I was off the ventilator just a few days afterwards and left the hospital, to everyone's amazement just a week later. I was left with a neurological disorder that doesn't allow me to do much, but the painting photo is titled 'Fishing Buddies.'"

Krys K. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I am a mother to two boys, ages 7 and 5. They are aspiring artists. Our home is covered in their artwork. Our youngest is autistic, and he loves to draw. Making art is therapeutic for him. He and his brother will sit for hours creating masterpieces. Walking into Jerry's gives us inspiration. And, thanks to my sons, I am returning to college to become an art teacher. I want to help young artists create beauty. I want to encourage special needs children like my son to make more art, and see the world through their eyes."

Sue G. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I began painting at age 57 after a nursing career. My art business took off rather quickly, and of course I knew nothing about it! Thanks to Jerry's, I was able to get lots of start up supplies at a very good price, and I LOVE the free shipping! The few times something has not shipped well, Jerry's has remedied the problem immediately - great staff! I am a constant customer and "recommender" as I order all of my gallery supplies (and lots of frames!) from Jerry's online, sometimes at very early or late hours! The convenience and quick shipping are wonderful! Thank you, Jerry's Artarama!"

Kevin D. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I have been involved in art since as long as I can remember. Little did I know that it would play a role in healing me! I have been an RN for 23 years and recently suffered a stroke. It affected my right brain– the artist's creative side– and my left hand and arm. I am right handed but didn't realize how much I used my left hand when painting. Through rehab I gained much use back. The damage to the right side of my brain led to fogginess and impaired creativity. Artwork helped to recover that part of me I feared was lost. Although I'm still recovering, it is art that keeps me going. Hope is something you cannot allow yourself to lose."

Jim E. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"College graduate with a Fine Arts degree and a minor in Commercial Art, I chose the latter for a career. A huge output of foresight came out of nowhere to tell me if I wanted to eat, Commercial Art was my career choice. Thirty years as a graphic designer, I was "forced" to retire. A pituitary brain tumor gradually led to total blindness. A determined physician and almost a year of recuperation blessed me with my sight minus peripheral vision – and no job! Not having picked up even a brush since graduation, I started to paint. Love it! (I was terrible in college). Jerry's has been my supplier from the beginning. Now, seven years into it, both Jerry's and I are going strong."

Mary R. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I found a deep passion for art in high school and luckily, at that time, I also found Jerry's. Using Jerry's online catalog allows me to quickly find the best deals out there, as well as discover the newest art supplies. I really appreciate Jerry's, because as a student, my budget is tight, so the great deals I find here offer me a way to get more for my money."

Posey G. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"And so the journey begins. I've had a studio partially setup for about 3 years now and so I finally decided that since it had been 18 years since I last touched a watercolor brush it was time. It has been an adventure to say the least. When you haven't touched something in 18 years, you don't just pick it up like you used to. To say the least, there has been fun, frustration, life lessons brought to light and an unexpected joy. Why do I paint? I think the best answer I have for now is one I read from another watercolor artist, "I don't know for sure, but there's that little kid in me that wants to say 'Look what I did'. Jerry's has been my go-to place to buy quality art supplies at a reasonable price. Great service and I save money."

Nancy O. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"Art is who and what I am. Art didn't change my life. Art made my life. From infant days when I would draw and paint on the basement walls- that were washed down every week, to the nerdy school days when I drew the biology slides for the teacher, to art studies in college, to teaching art in public schools, to working as a professional illustrator and fine artist, art is my center, my salvation, and my reason for breathing. Without art, I'd be enormously depressed. I do love Jerry's Artarama, not only for the number of supplies, but the great customer service."

Jerry's became my favorite place to shop online. When I compared the prices with other websites, it turned out to be the best option for students, and those who are starting a new business in the arts."

Hee Ra P. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"Art is a way of communicating with people. Without talking or expressing, people can feel the artist's emotions and read their thoughts by looking at their artwork. I think that is really amazing. I'm a typical high school student who is interested in art; however, my passion for art can't be compared to anything. I came to America when I was in 2nd grade without knowing any English. As a little girl who can't write or speak English, art was the only communication. Art created who I am now and it will maybe change me in the future. Through Jerry's Artarama, I hoped to learn more about my self in art and get more motivation. I really want to be successful through art and achieve my goal, so I will try and try until I get there."

Lauren D. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I began using Jerry's for my art supplies when I moved down to St. Croix to care for my grandmother. They shipped to the island with no hassle, which is rare when living on an island. After moving back to the mainland, I am hooked! The prices are unbeatable, and the service is fantastic. Thank you!"

William D. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"As a professional artist for more than forty years and a Jerry's customer for more than half that time, I value Jerry's for four reasons: enormous quality selection unequaled anywhere, price, convenience and service. There is nothing quite like receiving a large order form Jerry's full of needed art supplies. Browsing the online catalog is as much fun for me as being dropped of with my cousins in the fifth floor toy department of Jordan Marsh in Boston at Christmas time."

Deborah J. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I am disabled and unable to work. I have most of my back and neck held with titanium rods and plates. I deal with much pain everyday and every night. If I didn't have my artwork to keep my mind occupied, I would suffer much more than physical damage. I have always loved to paint. My father was half Native American and my mother ¼, so art is in my blood. It is something I have to do to keep my sanity. Jerry's makes it possible for me to continue to do my art and give it as gifts to my loved ones and to other people in need. If someone sees my work, falls in love with it, and God moves me to give them the work, I do it. I have been told countless times my work has blessed people in huge ways in their lives. Thank you Jerry's and God for letting me use my talents to bless others."

Anthony W. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"As an artist with many different creative styles and interests, it is important that I have a relationship with my art supplier. One that allows me to feed all these creative outlets with affordable products that is accessible and quick to deliver. Jerry's has always been my hassle-free way to keep my artistic needs met and their quality and customer service are second to none. Jerry's is so passionate about the artist's needs being accomplished that in my most recent purchase there was one color that was going to be unavailable for several months, so they credited my account and sent me a free tube from another brand in a similar color hue. Integrity is the word that keeps coming to mind concerning Jerry's and their fantastic team of customer focused individuals."

Rachael S. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"My name is Rachael. Every artist has their inspiration and mine is my Mother- Becky. Art has always been the glue that bonds us. Since 2012 she has been the official artist of The Jessie Rees NEGU Foundation (a foundation that assists pediatric cancer patients all over the world). She volunteers to draw portraits of the children and has completed over 80 to date. A growing demand for portraits of these children is bittersweet, but could never be achievable without the ease and affordability of Jerry's Artarama. This store provides for my mother her supplies and the ability for us to strengthen our bond, follow our dreams, and assist others as much as we can. My mother inspires me daily and I am beyond blessed to have a mother like her and a store like Jerry's."

Stephanie H. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"For many years I yearned to be an artist. I greatly admired people who could create and touch the heart of others through their work. In 2013 I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As a means to help process my PTSD I began taking art workshops. I was hooked! Art is therapy – the most wonderful therapy! I find that art allows me to express myself in ways words do not. The process of using color to create and feel is medicine to my soul, and Jerry's plays a huge role. Because of the great prices, I am able to experiment with different mediums and tools. This allows me to see amazing opportunities to create and express myself. Thank you Jerry's for helping me heal!"

Marisa G. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I've drawn or painted ever since I can remember. My older brother enjoyed drawing and printmaking and was very generous sharing his art supplies. Fast-forward 25 years; we both have families and full time jobs. Suddenly, my brother received a diagnosis of liver cancer. Medical appointments consumed much of his time. Shortly after he was diagnosed, I received an e-mail from Jerry's announcing the Art of the Carolinas. I jokingly forwarded the e-mail to my brother. He quickly responded back, "The flights are cheap right now." We went for it – had a great time taking watercolor classes and immersing ourselves in everything artistic. For the first time in weeks, my brother wasn't defined by a diagnosis. We've been painting ever since. Thank you, Jerry's!"

Jim M. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"As a "Weekend Artist" with a full time job, it's sometimes difficult to immerse myself in art and still keep a day job. There was a period of a few years that I didn't even do a simple sketch. One day I overheard my wife tell someone, "If I had his talent, I would do it every chance I got." Well, that hit me pretty hard, so I try to have some kind of art project going all the time as well as keep the old 9 to 5. Shopping online makes it convenient and Jerry's Artarama makes it easy to find the supplies I need."

Paulette G. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"The photo I submitted is of me with a second-place ink painting that I entered into a show. I also sold that painting... it was the first time I sold a piece of art. I live in a very small town, and have to drive almost an hour to buy art supplies. I like the convenience of ordering on line at Jerry's. Jerry's has many items that are not available in other online stores and the prices are great! I took up art after retirement. I need to save all the money that I possibly can."

I teach art and design for adults and always recommend Jerry's for their art supplies."

Frank W. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"As a student at the Art Institute of Boston in the late 1960s, I learned quickly how to save precious dollars for the quality art supplies that I needed to launch my career. By the mid 1970s I discovered my favorite source for art supplies with the Jerry's Artarama catalog. I cannot think of one instance where I needed a particular item that Jerry's did not have. Over the course of four decades, I have saved so much money by using Jerry's as my primary supplier of quality supplies for creating my award winning art."

Brian P. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I am a retired, disabled artist but I wasn't always that way. I have a formal education in art and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. I am interested in all aspects of art. I originally began with an interest in stone carving, but I needed a basic understanding of other aspects of art before carving stone. As I began learning other areas of art the world of art just opened up to me. Today I draw, paint, sculpt and carve. I have found that I can find all my art interests in one place at Jerry's. There are so many areas of art that no matter how many years I spend creating art, I am always learning."

"I am a portrait artist and I am currently working on a series of collaborative acrylic paintings called, "Yoked", with my 3-year-old daughter, Atlas Elizabeth. I have a connective tissue disorder. I have had a total of 29 surgeries in my 30 years of life. I cannot run and be active with her, but we can go to my studio and paint. No matter how sick I may get this is something we are bonded together to do. I was not supposed to have children due to my disorder, so these paintings are very special to me. They represent so many moments of our lives, the fun times, the quiet moments, and even the meltdowns. Thank you, Jerry's, for providing quality art supplies at a great price that allows us to have these unforgettable moments together. I will truly cherish these paintings forever."

Cheryl H. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"My husband and I have 10 grandchildren scattered throughout 5 states and 1 foreign country. Every summer I try to wrangle as many as I can to come to our house for "Nana's Art Camp". I order pocket easels and canvases in bulk, paint brushes and paint sets from Jerry's and the free shipping is a great deal. Our backyard is an acre in size and we have plenty of room to explore and paint outdoors (and clean-up is easy). After two weeks are up we have a small cookout and I arrange an art showing with the neighbors and invite other family members. I always send each one home with a goody bag full of art materials and homework assignments. Jerry's plays a huge part in making Nana's Art Camp a success."

"Because of Jerry's Artarama, I was able to accomplish my goal to be a fabric designer. Jerry's Artarama gave me prompt service in delivering supplies so that I could meet my deadlines. As soon as August my fabric collection will become available. I had dreamt of having fabric stored in my attic and now I have my own fabric collection at home. I have developed my collection from the many watercolor paintings I have painted over the years. Jerry's Artarama has been available at the touch of a phone call to make my dream come true."

Krisan H. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"As an artist, I help my students and myself by buying our supplies through Jerry's. They have some items which no one else sells, besides having extremely great prices. The specialty items really helped me in the dozen years I was involved in helping to restore the decorative carvings in the 1920's Wilson Theater in our town. I also used their watercolors to give the public an idea of the grandeur of what the theater once was and colored pencils when the restoration committee needed renderings of the inside of the auditorium. Jerry's was the only place which sold a faux gold metallic powders made in Germany which were exactly what we needed for the theater."

"I placed my first Jerry's order in 1983, and I have been a continuous and contented customer ever since. As a professional artist, I have given your catalogs to dozens of fellow artists and also to students of mine over the 31 years since. I seldom throw them away, but usually pass them on to happy recipients who want the best products and selection but don't want to overspend to get what they need. Because art is my business, I use a lot of art materials; I need superb quality and often large quantities of the things I use daily. I also enjoy the large selection of unusual items seldom available from other companies. I'm hooked on Jerry's!"

Morey S. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I've been oil painting for about 3 months now. I'm in a wheelchair and don't have much to do. I wanted to learn how to oil paint, so that's what I'm doing now– I needed something to live for. Now I do– I love oil painting. I just had a big kidney surgery that I was not to live through, but I did. God has given me a second chance, so I'm not going to waste it. I'm oil painting all the time now. I get all my art supplies from Jerry's Artarama online. I don't get much money and I wish I could spend more at Jerry's every month. They have great prices. I'll never buy my supplies from anyone but Jerry's. Thank you for the great service that get every time I order something."

The paint is wonderful. I paint better and more often. The colors are marvelous. The wide mouth jars are easy to use. I've even learned how to use the easy-to-do online ordering process. In fact, I even buy more now that I ever have before. It is a cycle. Recently I won "Best of Show" for one of my Matisse paint paintings. Loyal? You bet. Thanks, Jerry."

Alexis Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"As a foster child, I hold a lot of hidden tension from my past. Nothing seems to help me release all my stress and worries like painting does. It is a very effective coping mechanism that I use regularly, and it also comes in handy for late night stress relief. Every time I paint, it is like I am lost in my own world, a world that doesn't know pain or despair. It is a world that is able to hide me from reality, if only for a short while. Even though my paintings turn out exactly how I want them, I couldn't get them that way without the help of Jerry's art supplies. The quality of paint and other materials are amazing, and it's also sold at comfortable prices. So, thank you, Jerry's."

"As a professional artist I use a lot of supplies and I've been shopping at Jerry's since 1996. At that time I had to order by phone and everyone in customer service was always very helpful. I use Golden Acrylics and Turner gouache and Jerry's carries them at great prices. I know I can get the paints, canvases, paper and brushes I need in a timely manner. I've recommended Jerrys to my painting students all of whom have loved the experience and savings of shopping at Jerry's."

"I'm an Artist with a disability, and have to live on a limited income. I was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis, a form of Muscular Dystrophy, at the age of 4. Because of my disease I couldn't play outside with my friends; I was too weak and would tire very easily. I spent most of my time drawing, and eventually discovered painting. I started with watercolors, and eventually graduated to oil painting, and still paint to this day. I've been painting for nearly 26 years, and art supplies can be expensive. Jerry's Artarama makes my love for painting possible, and affordable due to their outstanding discounts, and great prices. Thank you Jerry's for making painting affordable for me and every other artist with a disability."

Elliot R. Photographer | Jerry's Shopper
"I hadn't realized that the title "artist" is entirely self-designated until one day about 10 years ago, while viewing a photographer's solo gallery show and thinking how my photography—until then never printed larger than a snapshot—was far more engaging. Proclaiming myself an artist I began seriously shooting and printing my work. Within a year I had my first solo show. I continue to shoot, print, show and sell, at least until my next reinvention. I love Jerry's because you can't beat the prices and selection. I also have the good fortune of having a store nearby. Whether running in quickly to get what's needed, or spending some imaginative leisure time immersed in artists' tools and toys, it is always a pleasure and no question goes unanswered. So, be an artist and shop at Jerry's."

Jerry's prices have always beaten the local art suppliers, especially when I place an order large enough for free postage. I rarely go outside Jerry's for any of my art supply purchases. I paint in oil, acrylic, oil pastels, oil bars and watercolor. Jerry's has it all. I have been a happy Jerry's customer for as many years as I can remember."

Ricardo V. Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"As an innovative artist, I was looking desperately for a medium which would help me achieve my goal of creating artwork utilizing recyclable items and incorporating them into the canvas or the recycled glass I was using as canvas. I was looking online for a store where I could get everything at once and by a strike of luck I ran across Jerry's website. I found all the elements I needed to create what I hope will be my masterpiece and continue experimenting and creating new challenges. Jerry's not only has the best prices, but their stuff is so pleasant to deal with and wow- the great sales they offer on top of the great prices! I have been a loyal customer ever since; it has been a 10 year relationship now. Thanks you Jerry for allowing artists everywhere to create, without breaking the bank."

Lukas 1862 watercolor has made all the difference in the world. Professional grade results, with generous, cost effective tubes. Jerry's is my #1 art supply store!

After a few hours of frustration I came across Jerry's and the SoHo line of products. I couldn't believe the price; I purchased the SoHo complete oil set to get myself started. It's been a few months and I am a fan of Jerry's and the SoHo line. The oils have a great texture and the colors are vibrant. Now I am trying my hand at the SoHo soft pastels. Thank you Jerry's for helping me find my brush again!"

Kim Artist | Jerry's Shopper
"I found Jerry's several years ago when someone turned me on to watercolor. I purchased 3 rounds of Dr. Ph. Martins liquid watercolors. I was still working in the corporate world then and didn't really have time to pursue art. Now that I am retired, I have turned into an art maniac - drawing, mixed media, art journaling - making up for lost time. I absolutely LOVE art supplies. I just cant get enough of them. That's why I shop at Jerry's. Jerry's has a large variety of supplies at affordable prices and often times, free shipping. It is pure awesome-ness!"
