Jeff Schaub was born in New York in January 1965. His art career started at the tender age of 5 when he astonished his teacher by drawing a three-dimensional figure. By age 8, Schaub was creating replicas of everything he could find using any available surface for his canvas. Studying the works of the great masters in his local library, National Geographic, and Encyclopedia Britannica, he learned their techniques, which was his greatest joy. Although Jeff never had the advantage of formal training, he has evolved into a world-class artist with works in numerous private art collections.
