View the Artwork of Jeff Ham
“I do my best to translate emotion and feelings into color and communicate my individual interpretation of each subject,” he explained. ”My goal is to capture spontaneity. As an artist I am learning to express myself in an honest and straightforward manner.”
Ham’s father is an illustrator and as a child he would stand on a chair to watch him work with oils, acrylics, fixatives, markers and pencils. He believes this gave him a solid base in the fundamentals of drawing and painting. He paints what he loves – people, animals and sometimes landscapes.
