Jeff spent his childhood years in the marshes, sloughs and fields of Iowa with his father enjoying some of the best waterfowl and pheasant hunting a boy could imagine. He became interested in sketching wildlife scenes at an early age.
With a B.S. Degree in wildlife biology from the University of Wyoming, Jeff spent several years working for the MN Department of Natural Resources and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. He has done field research on timber wolves, waterfowl, birds of prey and many upland game species. Today, as a full time artist, Jeff continues to spend countless hours in the field photographing and sketching wildlife and wildlife habitat for future paintings. "In my paintings, I like to put as much detail into the habitat as I do in the main subject of the painting."
