The Artwork of Johnny Francis Wolf
Born at the Woodhaven neighborhood of Queens, New York in May of 1958, Johnny Francis Wolf is a digital
artist, actor, musician, poet and writer.
Wolf began his acting career with studies under actress Suzanne Esper at the Esper Studio, a New York City drama school that is dedicated to the acting technique of American actor and teacher Sanford Meisner. The Meisner technique is designed to create believable behavior by utilizing three basic components: independent activity, repetition exercise, and emotional preparation to stay connected with scenic partners. Wolf also studied acting at the Weist-Barron School, the nation’s oldest school for on-camera acting, and, later, with actor and drama teacher Lloyd Williamson at New York City’s Actors Movement Studio.
After appearing in many student and Indie short films on the east coast of the United States, Johnny Francis Wolf appeared in the co-starring role of Gabe Snow in screenwriter and director Jamie Nash’s 2007 indie horror-comedy “Two Front Teeth”. After the film’s production, Wolf relocated
to Los Angeles to continue his pursuit of an acting career. Trained early in graphic design, he worked briefly as a textile designer for the Kidswear clothing company before deciding to focus on his abilities as writer and artist.
As a writer, Wolf has written several volumes of narrative stories in both poetry and prose. An imaginative and creative storyteller, his work covers a wide range of emotion as his tales examine passengers on a subway, a young gay couple, a child fascinated by an unknown face, and other countless human interactions that occur during daily life. Wolf’s writings, issued through Wild Ink Publishing, include the 2023 two-volume series entitled “Men Unlike Others”, “Unapologetic” published in 2013, the 2024 poetry collection “Uncommon”, and his most recent work, the 2025 “Unbreakable”.
As an artist, Johnny Francis Wolf is a digital artist whose images combine photography with Photoshop, Illustrator and AI graphics.. Although the majority of his work is figurative, he also creates still lifes and
multi-layered images that are abstractions and variations on patterns. Wolf’s digital work utilizes two basic effects, ink washes and watercolors, to create both strong and sensual images. Broad areas of light colors are particularly prominent in his three Erte series, a group of figurative images that closely resemble watercolors; while other series by Wolf are executed in a more dark palette of painted blue and brown shades.
