Eddie Vakser: "Who has inspired you to be a painter much bigger than yourself?"
Jeffrey Leigh: "When I was young it was my Dad. He never told me I could not do it, or indicate that I was not able. The affirmation of what was being told to us about my talent showed in the words of my father. I loved that man, so his affirmation meant to me that I was an artist, and...I kind of knew internally. Later I came across many artistic influences that gave me inspiration, but the seed was my Dad's awareness of what I was,even at 5 years old."
