Jeff was born in Blackburn and has lived there for most of his life. He studied art & design at Blackburn College and worked as a metallurgist in Preston for three years, before becoming a professional car sprayer for the family business. This is where he first began to use acrylic on steel in his artwork.

"I have been working with steel for the last 6 years and find it a versatile & exciting material to use on its own or with paint."
