Jerry De La Cruz (b 1948, Denver, CO) was recently the subject of a museum-wide retrospective at Denver's Museo de las Americas. He is listed among the three dozen most influential regional artists of the twentieth century in a Denver Post survey of regional curators. Years later, he was the only artist considered when that same museum wanted to commission a major, contemporary digital work commemorating the opening of its new Libeskind Building.

He was the recipient of back-to-back artist in residency grants from Colorado in his early career and received as well their very last painting fellowship. Other honors include award of Best Art Event of the Year by Westword Magazine and appointment to Denver's Commission on Arts and Culture. De La Cruz currently splits his time between his studio in the Santa Fe Art District in Denver, Colorado and his new studio in the Little River Art District in Miami, Florida.
