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.

"Capturing
the play of light and colour on our natural world is a joyful experience for me. It is my hope that my paintings
will convey that joy to the viewer."
*
"Although primarily a self taught artist, I give many thanks to the artists
whose workshops and classes I have attended over the years. Most of all I give thanks to my partner in
life,
love & art, Linny."
