Jeri Hardy grew up in Oklahoma but has made Mississippi her home for the past 40 years. She is the mother of three and grandmother of four. Together she and her husband have 11 grandchildren. Family, God, and art are the cornerstones of her life and is reflected in her work. Jeri started out drawing but soon went on to formal training at University of Southern Mississippi, Mississippi Gulf Coast Jr. College and now and Jeff Davis Jr. College. Her path soon led to her current focus, that of spiritualism. Her art direction focuses on her belief in God and the love He brings to her life. Her cross paintings and collages are spectacular and collected my many. She also does secular art that include whimsical creatures for children's rooms.

At first, Jeri was waryto focus on religion and employ religious themes in her paintings. Over time, Jeri realized she could only be true to herself and her beliefs if she released her fear and let the true nature of her art come out. |

"THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS" I was inspired to do this cross by a
picture I had seen of Hagar kneeling pleading for her son's life. I
love using brocaded or embroidered ribbons with cording and
beads and just about anything I can get my hands on. I used
corner is one of the golden lampstands mentioned in Revelations
and is also used in the St. John's Bible the first Bible to be
illuminated in 600 years and will be completed in 2012. It has
been one of my greatest inspirations. If you are not familiar with
this amazing Bible, please look it up on the internet. You will fall in
love with it. My crosses are elaborate and beautiful, but then so is
God's Glory and that is what I want people to see in my work.
Thank you
