Jeff Brimley

Provo, Ut - United States

Jeffrey Brimley showed an interest and proficiency in drawing fantasy ever since he was able to pick up a pencil. While in high school, he designed t-shirts for many extra curricular organizations, and found enjoyment doing anything that related to drawing. It was not until 1998 when his father introduced him to a local artist that he started developing an interest in oil painting. Jeff became apprenticed to the very famous Utah artist Greg K. Olsen, who, interestingly, is known locally for not taking on apprentices. Jeff worked closely with Greg Olsen for the next 5 years. Olsen encouraged Jeff to focus on children's art, and as a result, children and children themes are often displayed in Jeff's fantasy paintings.

Jeff Brimley's greatest strength is his creativity. He has more ideas than he believes he will ever have time to paint. Jeff really enjoys painting with a twist of whimsy. Many of his paintings will contain related elements, such as the images found in the paintings 'Bedtime Stories' and 'When Pigs Fly.' This connection allows those who view his art to draw many of their own conclusions as to the stories that the paintings tell. Jeff also masterfully weaves those wonderful childhood experiences into his paintings, such as the 'thumb wars' which can be found in 'Wizards Duel' and the 'paper, rock, scissors' found in 'Dual Wizards Duel.'

Jeff currently resides in Utah with his wife and cat.
