Sixty-six-year-old Jerald Cajko admits to having studied art in
the US and Europe from 1959 through 1967 but he makes it clear that
he’s been an artist and a student of drawing and color since
he was a toddler. "My daily life has always included painting,"
says Cajko. "I live to paint, to experience my talents, explore
the limitless colors of the world… to savor this life as a
painter." He has traveled, lived and painted all over the world,
studying the artists and art forms of the Netherlands, Indonesia,
India, Japan, Afghanistan and the Caribbean, with each stop adding
to his "visual vocabulary." He is in nineteen collections
worldwide and has been featured in publications that run the gamut
from Architectural Digest to the Catskill Mountain
Guide. Of the many glowing notices he’s received, his
favorite is from Simone Ellis’ piece in Art in America:
"Cajko’s work is sheer exuberance, a visual treat." |
