Jeff Rowland was renowned for his evocative rain-soaked oil paintings, a signature style that defined his career spanning over 30 years. His work uniquely combined a romantic 1950s ambiance with his iconic rain motif.

The recurring theme of anonymous kissing couples in Rowland’s paintings symbolizes a deep sense of connection and intimacy. Rowland's artistic journey began with an unexpected inspiration: his grandmother’s painting-by-numbers set. This early exposure sparked a lifelong passion for painting, which led him to explore various materials beyond oils. Reflecting on his early influences, Rowland often spoke with enthusiasm about how this initial encounter with painting shaped his artistic experimentation and development.
