ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hello, and welcome to my web site. My name is Jeffery Day. I was born and raised in the Batesburg-Leesville area of South Carolina. During my childhood, thanks to my family, I developed a tremendous respect for the outdoors and I fell in love with the coastal region (low country) of South Carolina.

A self-taught artist, I have been drawing and painting for most of my life. In 1983 I studied with internationally known artist Milton Lenoir of Alabama. Five years later wildlife artist Danny O'Driscoll reviewed my artwork and with his encouragement I started painting professionally.

My studio is located in the midlands of South Carolina where I have been creating and publishing lowcountry artwork since 1989. I enjoy creating paintings of my native South Carolina, depicting the unique beauty and tranquility of the lowcountry. I specialize in lighthouses, beaches, marshes and wildlife. My paintings are very realistic; although they may give the impression of a photograph, they are all hand-painted on fine linen.

My original paintings hang in private and corporate collections throughout the United States. I attend many art shows and regional festivals throughout the Southeast. If you would like to know where you can see my work in person, please contact me by clicking here.
