Workshop description from Jeff Hein,
Jeff Hein was born in New Winsdor, New York in 1974. He
began studying drawing at Ricks College in 1992 under Gerald Griffin. In 1997,
After a 4 year sabbatical to serve a mission and battle cancer, Hein resumed
his studies in painting and drawing at Salt Lake Community College under Rick
Graham and Rob Adamson. From 1998-2002
Jeff attended the University of Utah where he studied fine art. Hein began a
fulltime painting career in 2002. From 2008 to late 2010 Hein took a 2.5 year
sabbatical to devote to personal study and exploration of naturalist painting
techniques. Hein has also taken workshops from Steven Assael and Brian Mark
Taylor.
Hein has been written up in numerous magazines and
newspapers including “American Art collector”, “Fine Art Connoisseur”, “Arts
and Antiques” and “Jetset Magazine”. His work has appeared on the covers of
“American Art collector”, “Art Calendar” and two years of the annual Spring
Salon Catalog of the Springville Museum of Art (SMOA). His work has also been
shown in prestigious locations such as the Utah Museum of Fine Art, The SMOA
and the Salmagundi Club in NY. It has been included in many prestigious collections
including that of the SMOA, John Huntsman Sr., Mitt and Ann Romney, Senator
Gordon Smith and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Jeff has won numerous awards including, most
recently, 2nd place in the National Portrait society’s 2014 portrait
competition, and 2nd place in the figurative category of the Art
Renewal Center’s 2014 salon. Jeff served as a faculty artist in the 2013 and
2014 Portrait Society of America Portrait conference. In 2007 Hein founded the
Hein Academy of Art in Salt Lake City, where he takes on up to 16 apprentices
who he trains in the naturalist tradition of Painting. Hein is known for his
portraits, multi-figure narrative and scriptural paintings. His work also
includes complex large scale still-life works and sculpture.
Hein strongly values handmade things, in other words, thing
made without the aid of machines. He feels that art can tell a story about the
life of its creator especially if that artist intimately experiences his
subject matter. This is why Hein is
passionate about working only from life or imagination in his work. He sees
each painting as a personal record of his experience with that person, animal,
landscape and even with his thoughts alone. To him a painting/sculpture is about
more than the finished product but about the journey through its creation.
