Hi! I am Johanna Excell

Welcome to the world of ocean art. As a wildlife enthusiast and two-time Wildlife Artist of the Year finalist, I'm passionate about bringing nature to life on canvas.

Originally from Finland and now based in Regensburg, Germany, I began my artistic journey in 2018, combining biology with painting.

With over 100 original pieces sold worldwide, my art highlights the beauty of our planet’s biosphere, and each brushstroke celebrates biodiversity.

As an advocate for ecological well-being, I use art as a platform for change, raising awareness for endangered species and the issues that different species face today.

Join me in the fascinating world of underwater art!
