Jeff Ward. Young Artists




	Jeff Ward is a graduate of Art Center College of Design who is now dedicating himself to the study of the Western landscape. Growing up in Idaho, in the shadow of the Tetons, gave the young artist a love of the outdoors, so painting the landscape has allowed him to combine his love of art and nature. From his base in the San Gabriel Valley, Ward goes on painting trips to the high desert or the Sierra Nevadas. Early on Ward thought his chosen field would be jazz rather than painting; it was only after he completed his mission for the Church of Latter-Day Saints that he found that he was meant to be a visual artist rather than a musician. He is in the Mentor program of the California Art Club and is working commercially while he builds a following for his landscapes.
