Bio & Resume
An epic artist born in New York…lives, loves, and creates in Arizona.
Driven by excellence, integrity, positivity, and always doing the right thing, as well as self-empowerment, perpetual learning, and never giving up on yourself or other people. Life isn’t about me; it’s about those around me and working collaboratively to achieve greatness.

To make a great design, it takes knowing the elements & principles of art, such as composition, balance, and the appropriate color schemes. It also takes knowing how to put these different components together to make a work stand out and be memorable to the viewer. Being introverted like many artists, Jeffrey Vaughan is inspired by God to throw fear out the window and create something stunning with his natural talents and learned skills he acquired while pursuing an AAS degree in Graphic Design at Yavapai College and a bachelor's in digital video production at Grand Canyon University. Jeff’s artwork always speaks volumes about composition, vibrance, and balance. Whether designing an advertisement, taking real estate photos, or digitally painting a photograph, capturing beauty and the viewer's attention is always the end goal. Influenced by his Creator and nature, and anything amazing and awe-inspiring, Jeffy has always had an artistic eye and the ability to create something gorgeous. With his love of HDR photography, he captures this beauty with a fine art twist of impressionistic influence. In a way, Jeffy is like an ambassador of all the beauty around us.
