The Beauty Of Quiet Things
These paintings are born from a deep love of still life and a lifelong practice of meditation. They offer a glimpse into the quiet, absorbing space where time stops, and the beauty of the present moment speaks for itself.
Explore My Work These paintings are meditations on the beauty of everyday moments, inviting you to step into the quiet stillness of the present.
About Me
I came to painting later than most artists.
My formal education was in music (violin and composition), yet after school I found my way into a practical career as a computer programmer.
Painting was always an intense curiosity for me, though.
So, for my 30th birthday, I purchased a small oil painting kit. This weekend hobby took on a life of its own, and after several years I left my comfortable life in technology to pursue this more uncertain – and much more satisfying – path.
I have painted still life exclusively for the last dozen years. I find it to be the perfect synthesis of tradition and exploration, and for me it is the ideal vehicle to search for both the inner and outer light.
I am deeply honored that over 700 collectors have chosen to bring my paintings into their homes, with many of them collecting multiple works.
What Collectors Are Saying
L. A., a Collector from Massachusetts
“I’ve known Jeffrey and collected his work for several years now. I always look forward with great anticipation when he shows his new work. The realism he achieves is astonishing. He brings a remarkable precision and clarity to his Still Lifes, and his compositions are always thoughtful and interesting. I always stop, look, and marvel at the paintings of his that I have hanging on my walls. I am both proud and honored to have him as part of my collection.”
