John Henry Toney born in 1929 and lives in Alabama. A deeply religious man, he lives in a house trailer on the edge of a swamp. He is a neighbor of folk artist Butch Anthony who has encouraged him to pursue his art. John Henry had been drawing a lot since he was very young, but when he was working in a cotton mill he drew a picture of his boss, and the boss didn't like it and fired him. With that discouragement, he quit drawing until about 1994. John Henry makes drawings and paintings in marker and paint that feature simple images embellished with recurring outlines and intriguing color combinations.
