Hello! I'm Jeffrey Ball, based in
Newfoundland, Canada. I began drawing in my high school art class, starting
with pencil and charcoal. Portrait work was and still is, my favorite subject.
In addition to black and grey work, I have moved into colored ink pieces. I
feel I have found my niche, creating colorful pop art portraits.

Having two daughters, and working a full-time job, my artwork started strictly as a hobby. Sometimes years would go by before I'd draw anything at all. In 2018, my then mother-in-law, Debbie was diagnosed with cancer. I was looking for a stress reliever and distraction, so I got back into my artwork. I began sharing my
work on my private/personal social media accounts, and then decided to open new public accounts. I had never intended to sell my artwork, and I couldn't even fathom that there would be an interest to purchase any of it!

In October 2018, I randomly received an inquiry about a Michael Jackson piece I had recently posted. Following the sale of the Michael Jackson piece, interest in my work started to rise, and I began actively advertising my work for sale. My Facebook and Instagram art accounts began to grow, and I started to get my work out in more public areas. I launched my website and online store, too. I was also able to exhibit my artwork at a local coffee company as well as a restaurant.

"Jeff Ball Art" was launched
out of a bad situation, as a loved one's sickness nudged me back to my artwork. While she has since earned her angel wings, I know she's smiling down on me, and the success of my artwork! Since "officially" launching in July 2018, over 500 pieces have been sold.
