Fans of top American trial lawyer Gerry Spence, 94, got a rare chance to see his works of art at his 24-acre estate on Romero Canyon Road.

Gerry, the author of 17 books, is a member of the Trial Lawyer Hall of Fame and has never lost a criminal case before a jury as a prosecutor or defense attorney.

During the COVID pandemic Gerry, who also used to have a home with wife Imaging in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, threw himself into his work of arts, mostly in oil, and 35 of them were on display when he hosted a bijou bash for friends and fans.

“Gerry feels it’s giving back to the people and people came from all over, some even from outside the country,” says Imaging, an art and antiques collector par excellence.

“I let the canvas speak to me as to what it wants to do,” says Gerry, who was a regular on NBC during the O.J. Simpson trial, and has appeared on many TV talks shows including Oprah, Larry King, and Geraldo Rivera.

Among the art fans were Joey Low, Ann Smith, Nancy Gifford, and Gretchen Lieff.
