Welcome to John Blake Folk Artist!
I have been an artist for many years with works sold throughout the world. I paint in my home studio in the majestic Sacramento mountains of South Central New Mexico. My formal training came as a child and art has been a passion ever since. As I grew older I spent a number of years exclusively focusing on self-taught woodcarving in traditional folk art themes. When I eventually returned to my painting roots, the years spent working with wood brought an unmistakable influence into this new season of creating art. It has given me a distinctive, recognizable style.
My passion is to create fun and funky folk art to spice up your living spaces! I paint with a heart of whimsy, bringing a humorous and happy touch with each brush stroke. My color palette is always vibrant and cheery and will lift your spirit!
Thanks for letting me share my life with you!
