Woman in Garden is one of the earliest works included in Patricia Bosshard-Browne’sgift of Jeffrey’s work. A lone figure stands in a garden – it’s a variation of a motif that has recurred throughout his career, including his most recent paintings. The trees, flowers and grass are evocatively naïve and highlight the largely self-taught nature of his art, learning from art books as he delved into his own highly personal imagery and techniques.
