Jeffrey T. Larson (1962) was born in Two Harbors, MN and raised in the Minneapolis, MN area. Between 1980 and 1984, he studied under Richard Lack (1928-2009) at the prestigious Atelier Lack also located in Minneapolis. At this time the Atelier was one of the very few studio programs still existing in the world whose traditions and training methods reach back through Impressionism to the 18th-century French Academies.  He deepened his knowledge in anatomical studies at the University of Minnesota, bronze casting and finishing at private foundries through years of personal studies in museums across both America and abroad.

Jeffrey and his wife, Heidi met when he was head instructor and assistant director (1984-1986) at Atelier LeSuere. Since then, he has painted professionally full-time. 

In 1990, they bought and renovated an old school in northern Wisconsin near the shores of Lake Superior where they lived, worked and raised a family.

His work has won numerous first-place awards in both national and international fine art competitions, including: the Grand Draper Prize by the Portrait Society of America, 

Art Renewal’s Center International Salon, and the Artist’s Magazine. 

He has had over 20 one-man exhibitions in multiple galleries throughout the nation. He’s placed more than 750 works in private and public collections. In 2016, the Tweed Museum of Art exhibited his work with a 25 year retrospective.
In 2016 he and his wife purchased a historic old stone church in Duluth, MN and, along with their son Brock, renovated it and founded the Great Lakes Atelier of Fine Art, (GLAFA).

In 2017, British filmmaker Joe Hawkins, in conjunction with East Oaks Studio, created an hour-long, Catalyst Award winning documentary featuring Jeffrey’s life and artistic journey.
