Jef Gunn

A Northwest native, Jef Gunn studied drawing and painting in California through the 1970s and held residencies in Barcelona and Paris in the 1980s. With a balance of humor, broad knowledge and helpful insight he is able to draw from each student their own natural way to paint, while bringing to bear practical instruction through contemporary and historical examples. He has been teaching painting, including landscape outdoors, for over 20 years. Jef has been a part of the KCC Buddhist community since moving to Portland in 1998. He was part of the team that built the retreat facility at SCOL.
