Principal country concerned : Column : Fine arts

John Ahee is a native of the twin island nation of Trinidad and Tobago. He immigrated to the United States in 1970, and lived in New York for eight years before moving to Georgia where he now makes his home.

Ahee's preferred media are oils and oil pastels with which he creates his passionately colored canvases.

He received his BFA in 1977 from City College of New York. After twenty-three years in graphic design and as an educator, he pursued his dream of being a fine artist.

He has since participated in multiple group shows, had five solo exhibits, won Best in Show and merit awards at Athfest and the Lyndon House Juried Art Show, and the People's Choice award two years in a row at OCAF's Southworks.

His pieces can be seen in many Athens-Clarke County buildings, including the Classic Center and the Athens Area Council for the Arts Arts Center. He was also the featured artist in the September 2007 issue of Southern Distinction.

He is represented by Mercury Artworks, Athens, GA.
