==Life==
Neffson was born in New York City and grew up in Little Neck, New York. He was raised by a single father, after his mother, an amateur artist, died when he was seven. He began attending classes at the Art Students League of New York in 1961, under the instruction of artists such as Lennart Anderson〔(Art Students League biography )〕 and Sidney Dickinson.〔(Art Students League past instructors )〕 As a student he copied old masters at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. His study of, among others, the painters Jan Vermeer, Thomas Eakins, Camille Corot, and Canaletto, developed his skills further. While attending the Boston University College of Fine Arts, from which he graduated ''cum laude'' in 1971,〔 Neffson’s work attracted the attention of his professors, including James Weeks and the abstract expressionist painter, Philip Guston.
He also studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine and the Tanglewood Institute in Lenox, Massachusetts, both on full scholarship. Achieving his Master’s Degree in Fine Arts for Painting in 1973, again from Boston University, Neffson taught briefly at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts, and Fisher College in Boston. He received the Massachusetts Arts and Humanities Foundation〔(Massachusetts Arts and Humanities Foundation )〕 and the Elizabeth T. Greenshields Memorial Foundation〔(Greenshields Memorial Foundation )〕 Grants in support of his work.
In 1976, Neffson's life and work were significantly changed when he was awarded the Fulbright-Hayes Fellowship for Painting〔 in Rome. During his stay in Italy, he met William Bailey〔(Betty Cuningham Gallery )〕 at the American Academy in Rome, who had a strong influence on his still life paintings at the time. Upon his return in 1977, Neffson was given a year long Artist-in-Residence Grant by the Roswell Museum and Art Center〔(Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program )〕 in New Mexico, followed by teaching positions at Arizona State University in Tempe and Pennsylvania State University. At that time he received a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Visual Artist Grant〔(PA Council on the Arts )〕 in 1983. He has also taught at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and has continued to teach ''Painting from Life'' for many years at the Art Students League of New York.〔〔
