As a glass artist for over 25 years, Jeffrey Morris Israel “Jeff” has now settled in McMinnville, OR.
He and his wife Pam have moved their home from Portland, Oregon right to the center of wine country in Yamhill County. He is self taught but has always been quick to ask questions of others along the way. The inspiration for his works is drawn not just from the beauty of the area in which he now lives but also from the 30+ years of international travel to take care of children with cleft lip and palate deformities. He believes that helping these children and their families to see better images of themselves is similar to creating a piece of art that can be enjoyed by many.
