Jeffie Brewer grew up in a small rural town in East Texas. The son of eccentric junk yard owners, he learned to spot beauty in the mundane, developed an array of industrial skills and discovered he had a knack for drawing. These early revelations have influenced his artistic trajectory ever since.
Jeffie earned an MFA in sculpture and metals and an MA in sculpture and painting. He also holds a BFA in drawing, printmakeing and jewelry making. He taught a wide range of undergraduate and graduate level art classes from 1998 - 2019, from sculpture to typography to expressive drawing.
Since his first exhibition in 1998, his work has appeared in both solo and group shows across North America and in Mexico and Japan. He also designed, fabricated and built his own home in 2006.
Jeffie is married to the love of his life, Angie, whom he credits with saving him from impending doom. His intrests are many, including golf, dogs, the letter Z, a ten foot putt, harmony, understanding, tulips, the tango, cut grass, the color teal, rust stains on concrete, clouds and small violent birds.
