Born in the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, in 1971, Jeffery started drawing at an early age. He received a full scholarship to the Savanna College of Art and Design where he studied illustration and Art History.

During a lengthy visit to Japan, he learned to cherish the tranquillity and serenity of gardens as places to meditate. That esteem, melded with his admiration for the art of Tansey and Chris Van Allsburg, has resulted in imaginary, surreal landscapes evoked by the feeling of the solitude of nature without the intrusion of objects that can refer to time.

Of his work, Jeffery says, "I offer a unique look by combining irregular, contrasted shapes with a very soft brush technique. All landscapes are created within, yet I use photographic elements to convey the realism."
