Jeff’s art focuses on materials, the essence and dynamics of the materials he’s formulated and foraged from the rural and urban landscape. He makes his own concoctions of paints, often from raw pigments and natural materials that he collects, like volcanic soils. He does extensive experimentation with oils, resins and glues to make his own emulsions. He builds up layers of wax, papers, resins and paints and scrapes them down, and slowly the images emerge.

Jeff has had solo shows at the Carl Jung Institute of San Francisco and the Venus Gallery (San Francisco), and he’s been in seven group shows.
