Jerome Richard Tiger (July 8, 1941 – August 13, 1967) was a Muscogee Nation-Seminole painter from Oklahoma. Tiger produced hundreds of paintings from 1962 until his death in 1967.
A fullblood Muscogee Creek-Seminole, Tiger’s style is said to be a combination of “spiritual vision, humane understanding, and technical virtuosity” but with traditional subject matter and composition.
His paintings first gained recognition at the Philbrook Museum of Art.
Born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on July 8, 1941, Tiger attended public schools in Eufaula, Oklahoma and Muskogee, Oklahoma. English was not his first language.[1] He was a citizen of the Muscogee Nation and was also of Seminole descent.
