Jerome Greene has
been involved in the arts since childhood. His father was a commercial
artist and professor of art at Central Connecticut State University.
Jerome’s older brother was an artist and sculptor. Regular family
outings involved museum trips and participation in art and American
craft shows.
Jerome left a career in the trades to pursue his
life-long ambition to be a fine artist. He has developed a unique
style of painting by immersing himself in the arts, visiting museums
and galleries and working with established, award-winning artists.
His range of work includes figure study, studio landscape painting,
still life and, his current focus, painting en Plein Aire —
capturing the immediacy of the day.
Since 2001, Jerome has been active in the vibrant
Cape Cod art scene. He has shown in multiple galleries, has owned
a gallery for three years, and has generously donated some of his
intriguing oils to auctions in support of various charities.
In 2008, his work was featured at the Cape Cod Museum
of Art’s “Painting New England Together” show.
Jerome and his work have been featured in :
- Cape Arts Review
- Cape Cod Magazine
- Prime Time Magazine
- The Cape Cod View Magazine
Jerome’s work can be found in corporate and private
collections; his extensive base of collectors spans the country.
A resident of Eastham, Jerome maintains a Provincetown studio.
Bob Spohn, Docent at the Cape Cod Museum
of Art:
“Jerome grew up in New Britain, Connecticut, where
his father was a professor of art at Central Connecticut State
University. New Britain is also the home of the New Britain
Museum of American Art, where Jerome was impressed by the work
of Thomas Hart Benton.
An avid baseball fan, Jerome's secret ambition is to do "plein
stadium" painting at Fenway Park. It's fitting that one
of his favorite artists is Aldro Hibbard, who gave up a promising
baseball career to become an artist.
Jerome, an engaging painter with studios in Eastham and
Provincetown, has the uncanny ability to capture the moment,
and the skill and eye for integrating frame and painting. Like
many plein air painters, he thrives on the camaraderie and
energy generated by group painting expeditions.”
