Jeff's love for painting and drawing developed at a young age. Over the years, his talent was obvious to all who saw his work.  He became a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.  It was there that Jeff crafted his talent through long classes of figure study, landscape, and animal drawing.  This is where he learned composition, Illustration and what made a painting work and not work.  Jeff studied under the instruction of some excellent teachers.  Oliver Grimly and Renee Foulks let the young artist express himself and paint what he loves. It was during these two classes he learned the most , and mastered his pencil work.  Jeff has combined his love for history with his passion for art , and has developed into an outstanding and exciting young artist. 

     The artist is being currenlty represented at The American Historical Art gallery in Gettysburg.  "There are so many paintings to be done, that I have in my head" he says "It is just a matter of research and time. Many of  Jeff's original Paintings now reside in various private collections.  "I want to tell their story, bring it to life, for other to see and learn about. That is why I do this. I love to be able to think about how a scene may have looked and translate that to the canvas." This young artist looks to have a promising career in the near future.
