Serial killers are BORN...not made. They are compelled by an irrepressible and driving force to do what they do, just as some artists are compelled to create. For the notorious Jeff Gaither, art is far beyond a talent or hobby, it is a means of sanity and SURVIVAL. For over 30 years, Gaither's prolific works have roused audiences all over the world with the distinctive and artistic fusion of horror, rock 'n roll and demented fantasy that he has become so well known for. Born in 1960 and "hell-raised" in Louisville, Kentucky, art was just a part of daily life for Jeff Gaither. Living a life that didn't involve art simply was not an option. Gaither's mother, LaDonna, and his Aunt Linda were both always drawing, painting, or involved in theater or other art in some form or fashion. As for his frightening fetish for horror, Jeff blames blames that all on his aunt, who in his youth bought him copies of Famous Monsters of Filmland and took him to movies like The Exorcist and Night of the Living Dead. Most people find it remarkable when they learn that Gaither is actually completely self taught.
