**Short fan showreel video of Jeff's artwork, with music (2018):
"After studying art in the North Tyneside College, I became a self-employed person as a professional artist in 1984. He used this time to experiment with every medium including glass engraving, printing and painting, but always seems to be drawn back to oil painting. Even as a child I remember my grandmother using oil paint a painting by the numbers together.
This caught my attention and I was fascinated with the medium. I have always tried other means, because he found the process of art exciting. At this time, I had a scatter gun approach to art, working in all areas and not having any means to learn my craft. Sometimes it was difficult and I had to re-train. In 2000 I made an HND in advertising / illustration as a viewer, in the study of Newcastle. Although I have not worked in many writings and in person was successful in winning a prize of NEPA (North East Print Association).

After graduating and looking for work, the only thing that could not keep away from art. I wanted to try once again to succeed in art. After the exhibition in a gallery of Northumberland, my work was taken to Affordable London, where I had sold out in one day. Things started to snowball. He exhibited in Edinburgh and Dublin, with the same success. Over the past two years, I have witnessed a change in my work. I think I perfected my skills and efforts in the compositions that really express and convey a certain atmosphere or time."
