Gyer, Jane Elizabeth
Jane Elizabeth Gyer (June 13, 1925 - June 1, 2004) was an American artist. Born in San Francisco, Gyer was raised in Los Angeles and showed interest and talent for art as a child. She moved to the Yosemite region fairly early in adulthood, where she lived for nearly 50 years. Gyer was active in her local community and was a founding member of the Timberline Gallery, an artist collective in Oakhurst, California. She worked in a range of mediums, including acrylic, etching, scratchboard, and watercolor. She was best known and most remembered for her watercolor work. Gyer won several awards over the course of her career, including two National Park Service Director's Awards. She married Jack Gyer (her second husband) in 1971, marrying Jack Gyer a few years after he hired her as the first art director for the Sierra Star. Together, the Gyers formed the publishing partnership 'The Jays', which published at least one pictorial map of the Yosemite region in 1967.
