I was born in Klerksdorp on 19 December 1962. I went to school at La Hoff primary school, Three Rivers, Renosterspruit, Saamtrek and Klerksdorp High School (KHS). Since my early childhood I had the desire to draw and started sketching everything around me in pencil, pen, crayon, coloured pencils and anything I could get a hold of. In the beginning it was simple stick figures, clouds and trees like any other toddler and as time moved on I began to develop my talents further and lived out my passion for art.

I am Johandi Wolmarans, 28 years old and married with two children. I am a full-time painter and my preferred mediums with which I paint include oil paint acrylic and charcoal, with oil paint being my favorite.

Art for me started when I had an art class at held by my teacher, Thea de Beer. She encouraged me to take art as a subject, and ever since then it took priority. At first it started as a hobby, then a holiday job and now I paint full time from my studio in Klerksdorp.

I was trained as a THED Preschool/ Junior grades teacher with Arts as a Semi Specialising subject. During being a teacher I had the opportunity to do many decor work for concerts and Revue. I have loved art since my childhood and took every opportunity to broaden my knowledge of the subject. During and after my teaching years I gave classes in art for children and adults. Since 2007 I really started to market my artwork in our neighboring towns.

I once exhibited at Aardklop and some of my works were displayed on Pasella. The painting displayed on Pasella was sold, and I received orders for two additional paintings because of Pasella.

Ek het nog altyd n passie vir kuns, wat my inspireer is al die tegnieke wat toegepas kan word om my innerlike emosies uit te beeld. Wanneer ek n verfkwas optel, maak daar ‘n hele ander wêreld oop voor my. Ek kan wys wat ek voel en wat ek sien uit my oogpunt.

I have always had a passion for art, which inspires me is all the techniques that can be applied to portray my inner emotions. When I pick up a paintbrush, a whole other world opens up before me. I can show what I feel and what I see from my point of view.

Slegs op inspirasie… slegs uit verkore tye…
gryp ek na die kwas
besluit op musiek kers wierook en wyn…
sit ek en skilder
dit wat my hand doodle en vertel…
wat my siel op daardie oomblik ontbloot

Only on inspiration … only from chosen times …
I grab the brush
decide on music candle incense and wine …
I sit and paint
that which my hand doodles and tells …
exposing my soul at that moment

“Art is an outlet for me, a way to express myself with colour and composition. I like to use various other elements to enhance my art, like creating my own frames from old left over woods etc. Tuscan art was my inspiration but these days I love creating modern art as well.

I love the world of art and like learning from my fellow artists as well. I aspire to bring the same joy I have creating my art to those who admire the art industry.”
