| Mike Elliott | |
)
|
Born in England in 1949, his family soon moved to Calgary, Canada, where his formative years were spent close to nature and the Native Americans. |
| About the Artist | |
His pictures, a subtle fusion of Watercolour and Pencil, had always been more than a visual creation. He embodied in them deeper emotions and feelings for the Bushmen of Southern Africa, a people deserving greater respect from the modern world. |
