John Henry Dick

John Henry Dick (May 12, 1919 – September 18, 1995) was an American naturalist and wildlife artist who specialized in birds.

His great-grandfather, William Dick, was an early investor in the National Sugar Refining Co., of which his father was a director.

[3] Dick went to Brooks School where his grades were poor but shortly before graduating in 1936, his headmaster Frank D. Ashburn had him paint a mural in the dining hall.

In 1941, he joined the United States Air Force during World War II, visiting the South Pacific Islands.

He also published an illustrated autobiographical book in 1979 titled Other Edens: The Sketchbook of an Artist Naturalist which won a national conservation award from the Garden Club of America in 1984.
