Jerry Park

Jerry Park is a Southerner. Born and raised. His soul forever imprinted by his heritage. That means there’s a story in everything he sees, and he tries to tell it in the resulting photograph. Tradition, loss, hope, tragedy, family and foolishness - all the themes we are drawn to in the best of southern writing, historical and fictional. He offers the viewer a glimpse into that lush mosaic by looking at images. He also often accompanies his photographs with written expressions - short stories, essays, poems - brought to the surface by his own contemplation of the print.

Educated at Wofford College in South Carolina and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Jerry went built careers in office systems, the Christian music world, and book and Bible publishing, finishing each in executive positions.

Jerry is exhibited in galleries around the country, two of which have designated him as an Artist of Distinction. His home town gallery in Nashville, TN, is The Arts Company. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Tennessee State Museum and the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado. He is collected by several commercial clients and has been published in books, magazines, and newspapers. Jerry published his first book, Slow Roads Tennessee, in October, 2016. It became a best seller across the state during late 2016.
