About Jeff Nestegard

Jeff Nestegard is a visionary artist whose foundational understanding of reality imbues every facet of his work. He has come to understand how thoughts and feelings translate to light, frequencies, and vibrations to be received by the cosmic soup of pure potentiality. This sea or unified field is the creative force from which all things emerge. His creativity stems from his conviction that we can exert profound impact on what is possible by focusing on particular vibrational frequencies of thoughts and feelings. 

With nearly twenty years of experience in his chosen medium, Jeff is a largely self-taught artist whose work transformed significantly following a life-altering experience in the Peruvian jungle in 2012, where he spent three months at a permaculture and ayahuasca retreat center. Through a work exchange program, he contributed to the land, clearing jungle and building banana pits, while also participating in twenty-one ceremonial sessions guided by shamans. The experience was by his own account a profound dismantling and reconstruction of self, one that rewired his perception and opened him to a deeper understanding of self-love and the fundamental nature of reality.

The shift in his work following his ayahuasca journey is unmistakable. Before Peru, Jeff’'s art was generally dark, somewhat colorless, and often lacking in narrative. What emerged afterward was something far more vibrant and intentional. His palette expanded dramatically, and with it came a unifying theme: the invisible architecture of existence. Woven throughout his current practice are themes of sexuality, manifestation, and the streaming flow of consciousness, a body of work that invites viewers into a direct encounter with themselves and the underlying forces that shape reality.
