About Jeff Legg
Publish Post
Jeff C. Legg’s artwork is often described as “masterful, ethereal, and timeless.” Every painting is an intimate
conversation between artist and viewer. One believes they can reach into the scene and perhaps, grasp a medieval helmet, feel the fuzz on a peach, or actually stir the air.
Focused primarily on still life, Legg is equally adept and comfortable with figures, portraits, and landscapes, either in the studio or “en plein air.” Painting “from life” is at the core of his artistic sensibility.
Legg creates works that embody superior craftsmanship and the soulfulness of a silent moment captured in time, yet stirring with life. “If one of my paintings evokes an emotional response from the viewer, perhaps a sense of awe or mystery, I feel that I’ve succeeded in communicating something of value, something good, or even spiritual.”
Born in 1959 in Joplin , Missouri , Legg’s artistic interests developed in childhood and by age 13, he was taken under the wing of a college art professor for three years. This early mentoring laid the foundation for his drawing and painting skills and led him to study at the Atelier Lack and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He has attended pivotal workshops by both David Leffel and Sherrie McGraw and counts them, alongside Chardin, Rembrandt, and Wyeth, among his artistic influences.
Legg recently moved to Estes Park , Colorado , where he lives with his wife and three children. He paints daily in his studio.
