Gaddis, Jerry
Jerry Gaddis is a Washburn University graduate with a degree in fine arts and a well-known Topeka artist whose paintings grace the walls of thousands of homes and corporations in Northeast Kansas. A native Kansan, Gaddis spent a lifetime studying the Midwestern landscape, and it shows in his paintings, which capture the soul of this part of the world. Working primarily in acrylic, his landscapes reflect the ever-changing natural beauty of Kansas. Throughout his professional career, his work has won many awards including first prize in the Landscapes category in the 1997 Smoky Hills Arts Competition. His work has been exhibited at the Birger Sandzen Museum in Linsborg, Kansas, and the Mulvane Art Museum in Topeka. For many years Jerry’s “Snowman” series of paintings were featured on Christmas cards and posters produced for the Capper Foundation’s annual fundraising event. Today, his “Snowman” cards and posters are considered collector’s items. Jerry Gaddis is represented by SouthWind Gallery of Topeka.
