Art has always been part of Jeffrey's life. Born in Concord,
Ontario, he began sketching and painting watercolours of his rural
neighbourhood at an early age.
Jeffrey's
creativity developed into an early career in graphic arts. While
living and working in Ontario's north, Jeffrey's love of birds
and nature led him to wood carving. His waterfowl and shorebird
carvings became his main artistic focus at that time.
Many
of Jeffrey's carvings are in collections throughout Canada and
the USA.
After moving to Victoria Jeffrey's love of painting and sketching
was rekindled by the beauty of the coastal environment.
Painting
in oil and acrylic has reenergized his love of landscape and marine
painting. Jeffrey's bold and colourful art has gained much popularity
in Victoria and beyond
