Hennie Niemann Jr:

Hennie Niemann Jr was born in 1972 in Bloemfontein to Magriet and Hennie Niemann. 1980-89 Hennie moves to Vermont where he is introduced to art at a very early age. He is closely associated with the master artist Gregoire Boonzaier and under the tuition of his father Hennie Niemann Snr. 1990 After matriculating from Hermanus High School, Hennie's military service affords him a year in the Kruger National Park. It is here, surrounded by bushveld, that his love of nature and wildlife is nurtured.

1991-92 Drawing on this new found source of inspiration, Hennie returns to Vermont and begins painting. His expressions and bistre sketches reflects his intense affinity with the interactions of the wild.
