Jeff Keefer is the heart behind VIVID Gallery, an inspiring art space located in the Shops at Sea Pines Center on Hilton Head Island. After a successful 34-year career as Executive Vice President and CFO of DuPont, Jeff’s life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2007. Rather than slowing him down, the diagnosis awakened a heightened sense of creativity and a deep passion for photography.

Drawn to color, light, and the beauty of the world around him, Jeff began capturing vivid moments from Hilton Head Island, the Lowcountry, and his travels abroad. Photography became both an artistic outlet and a source of joy, allowing him to see the world through a new lens.

VIVID Gallery is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), and all proceeds from Jeff’s fine-art photography support Parkinson’s research through the Michael J. Fox Foundation, as well as select local charities. Through his art, Jeff turns creativity into hope, connection, and meaningful impact.
