MEDIUM: Oil | Acrylic SPECIALTY: ✔ Artistic Process & Mindset ✔ Finding Your Artistic Style ✔ Technique & Demos
I truly believe every person is a creative person and can succeed when they tap into that knowledge of themselves.
I help people find the key that turns their abilities into a profitable art career.
I have taught many courses and classes on the idea that when you take certain aspects of an art career and individualize them to you will have the key that unlocks success.
I focus on the artists strengths. “Do what you can do now to the best of your ability and let the rest stay in the future. It will come!”
I am not afraid to kindly tell the artist the truth because I want that person to succeed in their career.
I have studied the best ways to be a teacher and how we learn best and then utilize these techniques in my classes. As an example, when we learn something new we should verbalize it out loud and even try to teach others what you have learned and of course make application in our art process.

Jeff Boutin was born in 1971 in Minnesota. He grew up on a small hobby farm north of Minneapolis in Milaca. Jeff struggled with epilepsy his entire youth. Art became his diversion. Along with three other classmates, they wrote and designed their own comic book in 7th and 8th grade. In 9th grade, his art teacher recommended Jeff to a company looking for drawings and paintings of fish and wildlife. At the age of 17, he was hired by a Minneapolis company that custom painted designs on cars.
He eventually found himself in the carpet business. Within a short period of time, he purchased tufting machines from Georgia and launched Minnesota’s first carpet mill. Jeff ’s beautifully colored, hand-tufted rugs and carpets can be found in homes and businesses throughout the United States.
In 2003, Jeff sold the business and started painting full time. He has come full circle in his life and has finally found satisfaction in what he’s able to create. Although he attempted art school, he felt it was not what he needed for the direction he was taking with art. He loves the discovery of art; school just seemed to make things predictable and similar to everyone else’s art. Jeff is forging his own way in the art community.“I want my paintings to reflect great power and emotional intensity, yet a simple happiness.”
