Mark Jeffreys grew up in the Cotswolds and Norfolk. As a young adult he moved to Oxfordshire to study before leaving the countryside behind for London and most recently Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He received his BA (Hons) Fine Art from De Montfort University, and his MFA Fine Art from Wimbledon College of Art, University of the Arts London.
He makes conceptual abstract art inspired by colour fields, films like Solaris, paintings as objects from living landscapes, and painting as a way to visualise and explore a personal landscape. His research also orbits ideas to do with dereliction, atmospheres, climate change, and water health.
