Jeff Phares started carving as a hobby in 1984. At that time he was employed as a lab assistant making animal vaccines. He was primarily self taught until 1991 when he met John Burke, who pushed him to his potential in carving. In 1991 he took up carving full time, and it has been quite the journey since then.
After winning several prestigious awards, he began teaching full time. He currently has 5 books published and has worked in clay, bronze, and some stone.
He currently resides in California and Illinois and continues to work carving, sculpting and teaching.
