The Coming Storm

Joni-Leigh Doran is a South African artist working predominantly in the traditional medium of oil paint on canvas and linen.

Formally trained as a graphic designer, Joni-Leigh studied oil painting under renowned South African artist Ryno Swart during his later years. She is influenced by the techniques of the Classical Masters. Her colour palette and brushwork suggest high levels of spontaneity with strong influences from Nature and the elements. She aims to depict the beauty and fragility of the non-human world through her work, and animals and natural landscapes have always provided her with limitless inspiration. A percentage of the proceeds of all painting sales goes directly into funding various conservation programs and projects.
