Jeffrey Neumann was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1953. He attended Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1973-74 and graduated from Springfield College with a B.S. in Fine Art in 1981.

Painting in both oils and watercolors for over 30 years, Neumann has won awards and commissions in both media and is represented in numerous corporate and private collections including Mass Mutual Life Insurance Co., Fleet Bank, The City of Springfield, MA, United States Congressional Offices, WGGB Television and many others. He has had two solo exhibitions and exhibited in group shows in New England and New York City. He was featured in an “Art Business News” magazine emerging artist profile in January 2004.

Neumann spent most of his childhood years in New Mexico. Although he has lived in primarily in New England since his teens, growing up in 1950s and 60s Albuquerque and Roswell left a profound impression on him. The vernacular American architecture of that period often serves as a vehicle for his expression of a particular mood.

Writing in “Santa Fe Circle” magazine, Audrey Levin McLaughlin says, “Neumann’s luminous oils and watercolors penetrate the duality of the American experience; the thrill of adventure, the romance of the road and the loneliness and melancholy echoed by vapid advertisements on rusting signs. They invite us to step into a world where the commonplace becomes magical. Neumann’s work leaves interpretation open-ended but ultimately rewards the viewer with a soulful depth that only becomes richer with contemplation.”

"My aim is to create deeply personal work that speaks about the soul of America." - Jeffrey Neumann
