From
the artist's website: "His artistic ability
was recognized early as it developed in the
Bohemian world of 70s hippie culture. At thirteen,
he spent time visiting the studio of his neighbor,
renowned surrealist Norman Stiegelmeyer who
coined the term "Visionary" to describe
a contemporary art movement that focused on
spiritual and utopian "visions" experienced
in altered states of consciousness - whether
through drugs or meditation. Later at sixteen,
Jeffrey met his idol, Gage Taylor, a painter
of fantastic landscapes and a colleague of Steigelmeyer.
Taylor accepted Bedrick as a private apprentice.
By eighteen, Bedrick was accepting invitations
to exhibit his work alongside his mentors."
