Jeremy Herndl was born in Vancouver, BC in 1972. He
studied at Ecole Nationale Superieur des Beaux-Arts in Paris and received his
BFA at The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1996.
While Jeremy"s work is mainly focussed on the contemporary landscape, the
paintings themselves explore a wide range of genres and styles. Jeremy's use
of the medium is dynamic; exploring abstraction, realism, and expressionism in
his canvases. The collection of Jeremy's work is dynamic and at the same time
consistent in it's quality, skill and integrity.
Jeremy now lives and works in Poland with his wife and two children.
