  Jeff Markowsky’s love for linseed oil began while building log homes with his family in Saskatchewan, Canada. As a teenager, his job was to ‘oil’ the logs in a mixture of linseed oil and bleach. This protected and beautified the natural logs. When he wasn’t playing hockey he was drawing, painting or sculpting figures with leftover clay found in his mother’s pottery studio. Markowsky studied Visual Communications at The Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary Canada and went on to receive an MFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His education as a painter began in graduate school with Gregory Crane and then with Frank Mason at the Art Students League in New York City. Markowsky is a painter, draftsman and educator who enjoys the physical, emotional and spiritual process of a studio practice. Through teaching, he finds peace and pleasure in passing on the information that was freely given to him. Markowsky has been teaching Painting, Drawing and Life Drawing since 1995 where it all started at the infamous SVA Savannah Campus. He currently lives in Savannah Georgia and teaches at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Markowsky acknowledges the many students he has met along the way as inspiring and influential teachers.
