Jeff Muhs (b. 1966, Southampton, NY) currently lives and works in Southampton, NY.  His father, an artist and third generation hunting and fishing guide, instilled in Jeff an intimate knowledge of their local natural environment. Thus, the barrier beach of Long Island’s south shore would later become the heart of the inspiration for Jeff’s work. It was in these early years that Jeff, also a world champion sculptor, first learned the art of wood sculpting from his father.  It is this traditional and exacting art form that developed in Jeff a dedication and penchant for excellence he has carried throughout his life.  From 1984 to 1988 Jeff attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City, from which he received a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art.

Muhs is largely known for his work as a painter and sculptor.  His works have been exhibited in galleries, collections and museums nationwide as well as in Europe.  Muhs’ work can be found in several public collections, namely Cantor Fitzgerald; Time Warner, Inc.; Caesars Palace, Las Vegas; Los Angeles County Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Hunter Museum, Memphis, TN and Ward Museum, Salisbury, MD.  Muhs’ solo exhibition, The Uncanny Valley, a sculpture focused exhibition debuted at the Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton, NY, October 2021.
