CAPTURING  RAW AFRICA    

INSPRED BY NATURE

_____________

Jéan grew up on Mazunga Farm, near Gravelotte, in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. On similar terrain, and in close proximity to the Kruger National Park, Jéan was exposed to wildlife at a very early age.

His knowledge and love of the Lowveld, and its animals, stems from these early childhood days. Jéan's father, Frans Meintjes, introduced him to the medium of steel at an early age.
