Jerome started drawing at the age of seven with a babysitter who was himself a budding artist. Hours were spent with Jerome sitting on the arm of the chair drawing trees and clouds and he’s been drawing ever since.

After seven years working in the windshield factory of Ford Motor Company immediately following school, the opportunity in Ford’s North American Design Center opened where Jerome spent the following twenty-five years of his career. He worked his way to Master Modeler and then Sculptor in this unique environment with 2-D artists, sculptors, woodworkers, metal workers, plastic, fiberglass crafters, auto interior designers and painters as they worked together to design cars and trucks for future production. Jerome was a part of an incredibly talented team to create sculptures that looked even better than the road worthy models. This satisfied Jerome’s creative sensibilities until at the age of 53 he retired. This allowed time for painting, can creating for the grandkids including desks, bunkbeds, several paintings and murals to name a few.
