Acrylic paintings by Ben Jeffrey is truly exquisite. The artist is related to the popular artist John Varley. Right from an young age, Ben Jeffrey was interested in art. His grandpa was the biggest support in his family, so he could pursue art. When he was in the secondary school, he decided he wanted to be an artist, since he used to constantly challenge his friends on whose portrait was the best. It didn't come as a surprise when he pursued art in college. He is a self taught artist, since at college, most of the time, they had to fend for themselves. At college, the students were usually given a theme and they would have to submit a portfolio, which meant they had to learn the techniques all by themselves. He enjoys creating colorful acrylic paintings which are so detailed.
