About John

John is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

I started my career as a graphic designer but quickly realised that this didn’t allow me the opportunity to express my own ideas and so I changed my focus to fine art – specifically printmaking. My exposure to the bush and nature as a child and my love for the outdoors and animals soon became my inspiration. I decided to represent conceptual and environmental issues in my work using the colour woodblock medium to express myself. This soon expanded to include all the printmaking mediums. I have been an artist for 10 years now and have continued to develop my skills and to research animals, their ways and man’s influence on them. I make use of environmental issues to draw the public’s attention to the plight of our animals in a positive and often humorous way. I have been exhibiting for several years now both locally and internationally and each year donate an artwork to a charity in order to raise funds for that organisation. I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively and intend to continue to incorporate these experiences into my work.
