After ruling out his initial career choices as a paleontologist, zoologist, baseball player and Good Humor ice cream man, Jerry LoFaro employed his lifetime interest in dinosaurs, animals, fantasy, art history, and literature into a successful career as an illustrator. His formal art education was spent at S.U.N.Y., New Paltz, in 1980-81, while his most valuable lessons came later in figure drawing classes with Gustav Rehberger at the Art Students League of New York. Jerry currently resides in New Hampshire, where he continues to create and grow his portfolio.
