The painter was born in the Karoo and grew up on a sheep farm. From an early age his drawings gained recognition in the local community. Life in the veld played a crucial role in developing his understanding of perspective, dimension and colour harmony.
After studying and graduating in electrical engineering, he was stationed at the air force base at Louis Trichardt. It was during these air force years that he began developing his artistic talent. In 2001, Willie left engineering to pursue his passion of becoming a full-time artist and has not regretted it for a second.
In 2003 he became a member of AUS (Artists Under the Sun), in 2007 he joined The Portrait Society of America and became a member of the Portrait Institute of the internationally acclaimed portrait artist, John Howard Sanden and he recently became a member of the Water Colour Society South Africa (WSSA).
Today, Willie Jacobs is an accomplished South African portrait artist and teacher of portraiture, landscape, seascape and still-life painting.
