Jeff Allen
Artist statement
I'm Jeff Allen, an oil painter from Bartlett, Tennessee. I love painting portraits, but I also enjoy exploring other subjects in a realistic style. My goal is to create artwork that's relatable, honest, and beautiful. As the founder of the Art Academy of Memphis, I'm passionate about teaching others the skills and techniques of realistic oil painting. I believe that painting is a skill that can be learned with practice and dedication, regardless of natural talent. I enjoy helping my students discover that they're capable of creating artwork they can be proud of.
