Born in 1957 and raised in Saskatchewan, Jerry Whitehead is a Cree from the James Smith Band.
Native dancers inspired him in early childhood which is evident in Jerry's paintings through his use of movement and color.
In 1983, Jerry received a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Regina (Indian Art S.I.F.C.), and in 1987 he completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia Collage of Arts and Design in Halifax.
Throughout the years, he has been involved in various activities as an exhibition coordinator, workshop leader, illustrator and teaching assistant.
His murals can be seen at the University Hospital in Saskatoon, and other works have been exhibited throughout North America. In this way, his native culture has been given a voice. He presently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia.
