ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Jeffrey Geronimo grew up in the Philippines and moved to California when he was eleven. At a young age, he already developed a passion for the arts, winning poster-making contests at his school in the Philippines and the US. In 2006, after graduating from high school, he enlisted in the military for eight and a half years. While in the service, he used his artistic skills to create and design command logos and painted military-related art decorations for his unit. After his second term, he left the service and enrolled in the Academy of Arts University to pursue his art education. In 2020 he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree using the Post 911 GI Bill. He is now on track to finish his Master of Fine Arts in Painting/Drawing in the Summer of 2023. His works were part of the Spring Show in 2018, 2020-2022, and the Veteran Art Show from 2018 to 2019, where his painting "Summer Gaze" was selected as the cover of the catalog and other promotional materials. His current series, West Coast Scapes, contains oil paintings featuring landscapes, cityscapes, cloudscapes, and seascapes of California, Oregon, and Washington State. It highlights and promotes the therapeutic effects of these West Coast landmarks through brush works and colors.
