Seattle native, Moe Jerome, has relied on local area resources to enhance his artistic knowledge and skills over the years. He began his interest in drawing and painting while attending Franklin High School. He went on to study design at the University of Washington while working for Albertsons Food Stores sketching pictures for some of the weekly newspaper advertisements.

He has had the opportunity to study the mediums of oil and watercolor with Ilona Rittler at her School of Fine Arts in Bellevue.Most recently, he has enjoyed collaborating with some of the talented artists in the Puget Sound area. Moe who says that using oils on a fresh canvas is his favorite challenge, relies on the beautiful Pacific Northwest to give him inspiration and ideas for his landscape paintings.

Although oil is his favorite, this artist can be found capturing beautiful scenes from Maui to Whidbey Island with vibrant watercolors. He recently was the featured artist at a gallery in Langley,Washington, showing over fifteen paintings of sunflowers. It was a very exciting and successful show. Many of the sunflowers now live in several different states.

Though Moe does most of his work in his studio on beautiful Whidbey Island, he has sold paintings to people in eighteen states.
