About JETIII:

I am JET III. I am modern, one of a kind, a "fine artist" in the technological age. I was there in NYC's East Village during the 80's, participating in solo and many group art exhibitions. I have also raised a family since that time and kept the painting and drawing going in the mountains of New Jersey. I have also had several art exhibitions at the Polish Cultural Foundation in NJ. I have been concentrating on the subtleties of nature in my drawings and paintings, while living in an era that's reliant on wires and megabytes and I have also fought silently over the years for environmental protection. I have come a long way since my first New York City exhibition in 1979, or when most of my paintings were stolen after an art show one year later.

I have a Masters of Studio Art from NYU in 1983 where I studied under Ross Bleckner, Diane Blell, Marilyn Karp, John Kacere, Adele Weber, and Bob Kaupelis, among others. I received a Bachelors of Fine Art from SUNY Albany in 1979 where I studied drawing, painting, sculpture and photography. I've attended the Art Student League of NYC (Painting Award), New School University in NYC (Etching), School of Visual Arts (Design), and Ramapo College of NJ (K-12 and Art Teaching Certifications). I have also worked as a graphic artist in photography and later I became a master printer also utilizing silkscreen and airbrush printing methods to make my own handmade fine art prints and artworks. Since that time I have worked digitally, as well as by hand by drawing and painting.
