My Career in a Snapshot

Over the course of 40 plus years as a practicing artist I have exhibited and placed my work directly and through galleries around the world. I have had the good fortune to work with both brick and mortar and online galleries. Currently I am represented by Aura Galerías of México City. They can be reached at info@auragalerias.com or www.auragalerias.com .

Jeff Ferst paints whimsical and colorful landscape and abstract paintings that have been called juicy, flamboyant and full of life. Inspiration comes from our beautiful city, the gardens, the campo and the beautiful people who live here. His work is found in homes and businesses around the world. He also has found a way to place his art on more functional items to add color and beauty to your home and wardrobe. Those products are now available only through request.

In April 2022 Jeff began exploring the world of weaving. A traditional craft in México dating back thousands of years. His work in textiles is unique and retains his love of colour and nature. Keep an eye out for examples of his work on this site soon.

I am most proud of my partnership with the US State Department's Art in Embassies program. I have worked with them on a few projects and currently have a painting in the US Ambassador's residence in Windhoek, Namibia.

I have also worked on the Dushanbe, Tajikistan exhibit for Ambassador Susan Elliot in which my painting Fantasia received special praise in the catalogue created for the exhibition. In her remarks the Ambassador called my painting "the flagship piece" of the exhibit which included works by prestigious artists Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg & Robert Indiana.
