Jerry Raedeke sold his first wildlife paintings when he was 11. He tramped in the out-of-doors through all seasons in an ongoing celebration of the world which was unfolding before him. Through this experience, Raedeke emerged as an artist best-known as a transparent watercolorist who savors and cherishes nature.

After experiences with fine arts in Minnesota, Raedeke traveled to Los Angeles where he developed a fascination with watercolors while studying with the Chinese-American painter Jake Lee. His field research has taken him to 38 states, six provinces of Canada and 19 nations.

Jerry Raedeke’s work has been shown at nearly all major wildlife exhibitions in the nation. He was selected from a national search for inclusion in the National Wildlife Federation Show at Washington, D.C. While there, he was permitted a one-man show for members of Congress in the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building.

He has painted official duck stamps for the states of Georgia, Iowa and Kansas. He has been given Ducks Unlimited Artists of the Year Recognition in Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio and Oklahoma.

An artist who enjoys meeting his collectors, Raedeke has established a reputation for remarquing his prints at shows and gallery appearances. Collecting his prints, with original pencil sketches and personalizations, has become a tradition among countless collectors of his art. He lives in Nisswa, Minnesota.
