| Biography |
| Angler/Artist JK Christian paints fish and fishing scenes as a way of combining passions, to make his avocation and vocation one in the same. Born and raised in North Carolina in a family of fishermen, Jeff spent much of his summers catching bass and bluegills in ponds and lakes, & flounder and speckled trout on the Carolina coast. As an adult, Jeff has sought to experience all of the traditions and techniques of angling and to catch and record as paintings as many species as possible. From trout fishing in Colorado on his honeymoon to Gulf Stream trips for dolphin & tuna and everything in-between, Jeff takes in not just the experience of catching fish, but the amazing settings where fish are found. To our great benefit, fish draw us to beautiful places. It is only natural to try to capture the beauty just as we try to capture the fish. Finding that there is knowledge gained through experimentation with the different media, Jeff rotates between alkyd oils and watercolors primarily, depending on the project. Besides grand seascapes and authentic fishing scenes, Jeff also paints portraits of clients' trophy fish as a catch and release alternative to taxidermy. Attention to detail and accuracy and an ability to understand exactly what his client wants in a painting has helped Jeff exceed the expectations of his growing list of clientele. Jeff lives in Pittsboro, North Carolina with his patient wife, Tracie, his two amazing daughters, Alex and Julia, and his brand new boy, Luke. |
