Jeffrey John Willmore (born December 23, 1954) is a Canadian artist based in London, Ontario, whose work combines painting, performance and storytelling. His paintings are held in the collections of The University of Western Ontario, Museum London, and the Canada Council Art Bank, (Ottawa).[1]
After living in a number of small towns in Northern Ontario, Willmore's family settled in Sarnia, Ontario. Willmore later moved to London, Ontario, to study art. He enrolled on a design course at Fanshawe College in the early 1970s, but didn't complete his studies, leaving to work in construction trades; he later returned to Fanshawe and completed a Fine Art diploma program in 1980.[2]
