I’m in love with shapes, colors, and pictures that tell a story. I began drawing before I was three and I’ve never stopped. 
In the mid-nineties, after decades of sketching with both graphite and ink, I made a serious full-time commitment to my art.
Since then I’ve created hundreds of paintings, illustrated many books for children, and painted murals as well.
I’ve been teaching art classes and workshops part-time since 2005. I studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute long ago,
and I still take classes and workshops. The learning never stops.

My paintings are available for purchase at Saatchiart.com, at the Middle Ridge Winery in Idyllwild California,
and the Desert Art Center in Palm Springs, as well as directly from me.

I’m also available for commissions. I can be reached at jscaschiffman@gmail.com, 951-212-3783.
