RESUME

Jeffery Hall has had a successful sculpture career for over 25 years. Jeff worked for eleven years beside Frederick Hart one of last century’s premier figure sculptors. As Harts assistant Jeff honed his figurative skills building over life size figurative monuments including the 7 ft. marble Richard Russell statue in the Russell Senate building and the 7 ft. bronze President Jimmy Carter statue at the Carter library. Mr. Hart once wrote of Jeff's sculpture: "Whose quality of work rivals any in history." After Mr. Harts passing in 1999 Jeff continued to realize Mr. Hart’s final works until 2007 bringing them to completion. Jeff has received numerous museum sculpture awards. His ceramic and bronze sculpture has been shown internationally and his hundreds of architectural sculptures adorn government buildings, churches and estates in and around the Washington D.C. area, as well as the east coast, including The Marin Corp administration building, the Department of Agriculture Building, the Washington National Cathedral, the Turkish embassy residence and the US Capitol building, Washington DC.
