Gerald Lee Wise
Wise graduated from Wheaton College and earned his MA and MFA at Northern Illinois University. He had a lengthy career as a professor of art at the University of Minnesota, Mankato, and at Westfield State University, Westfield, MA, where he retired as Professor Emeritus in 2016. He was also a Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA. Jerry was a prolific and acclaimed artist. His finely detailed pen and ink drawings are in collections across the country including the John D. Merriam Collection at the Boston Public Library. In 1975, the family moved from Minnesota to a 1810 farmhouse in Blandford, MA.  He passed away in 2021 at age 79.

Below are the pieces from his one man show entitled "Fragments" in 1973. One can certainly see an influence from his art professor, Driesbach at NIU.  They also reflect the tumultuous times of the early 1970s.
Walter Moscow
Also studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He spent his artistic career as a commercial artist for Montgomery Ward in their display and advertising department.  His wife, Loyce, was also an artist.
