Jeff Briggs received his B.A. from Tufts and his Diploma from the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts in 1969. Over the past 26 years he has had numerous shows of his intricate, highly carved and laminated wood sculptures. He is known for his Art Nouveau style women, carved out of complimentary combinations of exotic and domestic woods. His wood sculpture was shown in the Verbena Gallery, New York, NY from 1978 through 1985. His work has been featured in numerous publications --- YANKEE MAGAZINE, FINE WOODWORKING, and INTERIOR DESIGN. His wood sculptures are prized by collectors throughout the country.

He has been collaborating with his wife Lindley for the past 30 years. In 1973 to support themselves, after discovering that it was next to impossible to pay the bills creating purely "Fine Art", they started a wood sculpture business. For 16 years they produced over 6000 larger-than-life wooden butterflies, flies, dragonfiles, moths, peacocks and wooden flowers that were sold to shops, galleries, and collectors throughout the country. Next they branched out into creating one-of-a-kind sculptural prototypes and designs that were produced and marketed by other companies. Many of their designs were produced in China. They collaborated on colossal props for the visual merchandising market - 6' Chinese ginger jars, vases, and plates for Bloomingdales, 9 1/2 Art Nouveau Ladies for Bonwitt Teller, a 10' mountain for The Rockport Shoe Company. In 1989, Jeff began working as a designer for Fabricon Carousel Company in New York, NY. He has sculpted carousel animals, horses, elephants, dolphins, and frogs, as well as carousel scenery panels that are presently part of functioning carousels all over the world - Singapore, Bolivia, New Zealand and many cities in the USA. Over the past several years he has worked on projects for Disneyworld, Euro Disney, the Plaza Hotel, FAO Schwartz, Eddie Bauer and L.L. Bean.
