ELEVATED INTERIORS: BEYOND DECORATION
Art is not an accent; it is the anchor.
Cheryl Johnson partners with interior professionals to create defining moments in luxury environments. We move beyond simple "wall decor" to deliver commissioned works that dictate the emotional resonance of a room.
The Promise: Distinctive art. Perfectly calibrated. Seamlessly integrated into your design vision.
“Cheryl Johnson’s ‘Secret Forest, Autumn’ is the perfect statement piece for our high-end design projects.
The incredible color and emotional depth captured in her Abstract Expressionist approach give the print a unique, original feel that few reproductions achieve. It instantly grounds a luxury space with both sophistication and a raw, natural energy. It’s more than just wall decor; it’s an essential aesthetic anchor that our clients consistently love.”

When a painting is sold, it begins a multi-step process that transitions the original artwork to its new owner while often establishing the foundation for future print sales.
Here is a summary of what happens:
Agreement: The artist (or gallery) and the collector finalize the price and terms of sale.
Transaction: Payment is processed. The title (legal ownership) of the physical artwork transfers to the collector, but the artist typically retains the copyright and all reproduction rights unless specifically stipulated otherwise in a written contract.
Paperwork: The artist creates essential documents, including:
Certificate of Authenticity (COA): A signed document verifying the artwork's originality, medium, dimensions, and date.
Bill of Sale: A record of the transaction.
Archiving: The sale is recorded in the artist's ledger/database to establish the artwork's provenance (history of ownership).
Final Inspection: The painting is checked for quality and often given a final protective varnish.
Packaging: It is professionally packaged to withstand transit, using appropriate materials (crating for large works, archival wraps for smaller pieces).
Delivery: The work is shipped to the collector, usually with insurance and tracking.
Confirmation: The artist follows up to ensure safe arrival and collector satisfaction.
Artist-Collector Relationship: This is an opportunity to cultivate a long-term relationship with the patron.
Given that Cheryl Johnson offers high-quality reproduction options, the most crucial step immediately following the sale of the original painting is to:
Inquire if prints for that work are available. cheri@cheryljohnsonartist.com
The art work will be photgraphed in high-resolution, professionally color-corrected photographs or scans of the original painting before it is shipped. This digital file is the master copy needed to produce the prints.
The master file is then used to create the Giclée Limited Edition quality prints on Torchon Fine Art Paper and the Framed Prints for Gallery Walls that Cheryl Johnson offers.
The print inventory can be restocked and made available for sale to other interested customers who might not have been able to purchase the original. The existence of these limited edition prints ensures that the artwork can continue to generate revenue and reach a wider audience even after the original is sold.
