Jeff Myers was raised in a photojournalistic environment; both his parents are photographers and with the guidance of Ansel Adams in their early stages of photographing, they amassed a visual archive of 700,000 transparencies of the west and its people. Myers himself has been published by National Geographic, National Wildlife, Animals Magazine of London and many other publications. Due to dyslexia, Myers struggled greatly in the public education system and had to create his own path for learning. This entailed taking many college art courses and spending many hours with working artists such as Wayne Thiebaud, who remained a close friend.

Myers began exhibiting at the age of 15 and debuted with a one person show at the Michael Himovitz gallery at 19. Myers's early paintings, influenced by Italian Futurism and the Mexican Muralists, deal with marginalized American sub-cultures juxtaposed with class differences.

“I have always been interested in contrasts, whether cultural, environmental or visual. I wanted to wed the staccato frequency of Boccioni with the scale and subject matter of Siqueiros.”

With over 25 years working as a full time artist, Myers's authenticity is both provocative and pioneering, showing that an artist can be multidisciplinary by interlacing new and old media and still retain ones own original voice. Myers's paintings and photographs have been published and written about over seventy times nationally and locally. Myers continues to exhibit across the country and has a national following.
