We at Verve on Third want to promote all of our artists,
but since we represent over 150 creative, talented
people, we want to focus for the next few months on
the concept of peace. The peace the artist feels
creating their work, the peace the customer feels in
our store and then at home or work with the art they
have purchased, and last but most importantly we pray
for peace in the world. Stop in the gallery & receive a
token of our promotion of peace.
Don't forget, we are in our new location at
227 S. Third Street.

Join us for an evening of art and
conversation Friday, March 5th, 6-
9 pm.

Showcased works by Jerry Strub.
Jerry is a life-taught artist who
shares time in two studios, ...
one in Lisle, IL and the other in
Union Pier, MI. Though
considered a fairly reclusive
artist, Jerry's work is owned by
collectors from Los Angeles, to
Boston, to Europe with numerous
showings in the Midwest.

My goal is to create emotionally
charged layers of textures
utilizing mainly acrylics and
various forms of mixed media
such as pumice and gel
mediums. I choose to use colors
and images that are raw,
spontaneous and stream of
consciousness that reflect those
doors of life that I have chosen to
enter on occasion regardless of
the “do not enter” signs.
Francisco Goya, stated it best:
“Imagination abandoned by
reason produces impossible
monsters; united with it; she is
the mother of the arts and the
source of it's marvels”.

I create images which portray the spirit and humanity of
nature and thereby the nature of humanity and spirit.
With my work I intend to capture a moment of magic
either from the natural world or from an ancient legend
or tale, and speak of the “secret” beauty and magic
within simple everyday moments and objects.

I strive to make each of my works a window. I think my
best works give the viewer a feeling of this deeper
magic being mirrored within themselves.
