Jerrie Glasper is an accomplished African American artist in Jackson, Mississippi, but was born in the inner city of Chicago, Illinois. His father, Matthew James Glasper,Jr. (who died when Jerrie was only nine years old) was the first to imprint him with a love for drawing and painting as a form of self expression, when he was about five years old. "As far back as I can remember", says Jerrie, "I was encouraged to develop an appreciation of the arts". Oils or acrylic paints are what he uses to render paintings in the style of contemporary realism. He feels most comfortable painting the things that are indigenous to the rural south which has become a part of him. He has, lately, focused on painting Mississippi delta "blues artists" and the music culture that is rich with characters who are both whimsicial as well as philosophical in their approach to coping with the trials of life. "I love capturing the expressions of love, joy, and pain in the faces of blues singers," says Glasper. I also try to convey the power of faith and hope for a better tomorrow, which is a cornerstone of blues music. To date, Jerrie has designed three Mississippi Delta Blues and Heritage Festival posters. He has also created paintings for Whitetails Unlimited, Ducks Unlimited, the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Conservation's "duck stamp" program, the prestigious Leigh Yawkey Woodson Birds In Art show in Easton, Maryland, and has painted thirty wall murals inside the Jubilee Casino in Greenville, Mississippi
