B. 1962 in Two Harbors, Minnesota; currently lives in Maple, WisconsinJeffrey T. Larson is a classically trained artist renowned for his ability to adeptly capture the simple, yet oft-neglected and beautiful, pleasures of contemporary life onto canvas. At the young age of 17, Jeffery T. Larson had the resolve and dedication to receive admission into the renowned Atelier Lack, Richard Lack’s traditional and Boston School-influenced atelier in Minneapolis, MN. After completing his four-year education at Atelier Lack, Larson continued his academic training through museum study in the U.S. and Europe. His strong repertoire allowed for a wonderful duality to evolve in his work: authoritatively rendered, composed and current still-life paintings created in the studio and, conversely, luminous, painterly and almost Impressionist landscape and figure paintings created en plein air. The common threads between the two styles are Larson’s exacting usage of natural light, dedication to working solely from direct observation, ability to capture the quiet beauty in even the most mundane subject matter and, of course, the necessary restraint to leave his pieces open and fresh.Larson is represented by galleries in Massachusetts, South Carolina and California. He has work in a number of important private and corporate collections and continues to receive honors for his artistic achievements year after year. In 2016 Larson co-founded the Great Lakes Academy of Fine Arts in Duluth MN with his son, Brock Larson. He also teaches at The Atelier in Minneapolis, MN and gives lectures on traditional painting techniques all over the United States.
