WABASH - Artist Jerry Points enjoys the challenge of painting.
He approaches the canvas and subject not as a photographic record, but as structure, design, color and a stylized representation.
The Honeywell Center now has his work on exhibit, sponsored by Deco Illusions.After an education in fine arts and print making, teaching at the University of Evansville, and a successful career in graphic design, Points now works at his Stutz studio/gallery in downtown Indianapolis. In recent years, he has studied with Camille Przewodek, Ken Auster and Scott Christensen, Debra Huse and Kim English. An art teacher himself, Points teaches painting and drawing at Stutz Art Space and the Indianapolis Art Center.
His new works have been well received and recognized with major awards, and have won him awards in the Hoosier Salon Exhibitions, Indiana Heritage, Indiana Artists Club and the Richmond Art Museum. His 2007 Hoosier Salon entry won "Best Dynamic Landscape" and in 2006 won "Best Impressionistic Oil Painting." His 2005 entry was selected by the Indiana State Museum as a part of their permanent collection. His works can be found in many corporate collections, including the newly remodeled corporate offices at Eli Lilly and Company.
