Artist Statement:
A versatile artist proficient
in oils, watercolors, pastels
and acrylics, Johanna also is
interested in a wide variety
of subject matter. Whether
she is capturing the gentle
sparkle in the eyes of a
smiling child or rendering the
weathered texture of an adobe
mission, the artist always
brings a strong sense of color
and design to her strikingly
realistic works.
"I don't explore any dark or
cynical themes in my artwork.
I think there is far too much
of that in the world these
days. I leave the heavy social
commentary to editorial
writers and politicos. I think
that as an artist I have an
obligation to bring an
uplifting message into the
world, and to help people to
appreciate the simple beauty
of our everyday surroundings.
Things that may otherwise be
taken for granted, or viewed
as mundane, such as the
morning sunlight streaming in
through a kitchen window, can
be a thing of beauty. I am
energized and overjoyed by the
sensation of perceiving light
and color, and my paintings
are all about that sensual
joy." ...
