After studying art at North Tyneside College, Jeff became self employed as a professional artist. He used this time to experiment with all mediums including glass engraving, printing and painting, but always seemed to be drawn back to oil paint. After graduating and looking for work, he just could not keep away from art. Jeff wanted one more try at being successful in art. After exhibiting in a Northumberland gallery, his artwork was taken to the London Affordable, where he had a sell out in one day. Things began to snowball.... more

Jeff has always been fascinated in two areas of art; the implicit meaning and the inspiration. He was inspired to paint a rain soaked street through films he saw at the cinema. “I am always inspired to experience what I am about to paint. I remember Billy Connolly saying that he hated songs about Scotland that were written by men in London: men who had never even seen the Highlands. In other words, if you are going to do something creative, get to the very heart of it first.”
