Yugoslavian-American (Yugoslavia -)

Theodore Jeremenko was born in Yugoslavia in 1938. When he was twelve, Ted and his family moved to the United States and settled in Philadelphia. In 1962, Ted moved to New York City, where he began a successful career in the banking and computer industries. While his job satisfied many of his interests, he felt the need to get involved in something creative. Combined with his interest in art and the visual beauty he discovered on his early visits to the eastern tip of Long Island, Ted began painting in the early 1970’s. Ted Jeremenko is a completely self-taught outsider artist.
