John Axton Art

b. 1947

John Axton was born in 1947 and grew up in Southern Illinois. As Axton grew up, his major influences were the death of his father in the Korean War before he got to know him and the blindness of his brother. In 1967, he graduated from Southern Illinois University's commercial art program and worked for an engraving firm in Denver. In 1979, he moved to New Mexico. Inspired by the landscape and Indians he saw in Taos, he became a full-time painter. In the mid-1990s, he lived briefly in New York City and Livingston, Montana, but returned to New Mexico, where he located a studio behind his former wife's art gallery in Santa Fe.
