"The Only Limit to Our Imagination is Time." 



secret forest left

Johnson’s work is in constant flux moving into nature with her secret forests filled with color and emotion. Cheryl Johnson was born in Idaho in 1947 and currently resides and works in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Nature forms the inspiration for her elegantly sumptuous abstracts akin to an orchestration of color, line, and space.

Her current work has shifted away from pure abstraction, gradually adding sculptural elements such as neon combined with elegantly brushed or poured elements. Cheryl is an artist with a deep engagement with color, harmony, dimensional space, and perception; her paintings offer a new perspective on the tropes of abstract painting. 

Cheryl Johnson has spent over fifty years honing a distinctive method influenced by her travels and observations of place. She compresses the rich color and form of her native northwest with her coastal explorations of North and South Carolina into complex abstract landscape paintings that imbue material reality with a deep sense of place.

PASTELS on SANDED PAPER

Pastels Inspired by Wolf Kahn 

A second-generation New York School artist, Wolf Kahn was known for luminous, lyrical paintings of forests and farmlands that combined realism with the immediacy of Abstract Expressionism. Kahn’s signature landscapes took inspiration from the palettes of Henri Matisse and the ethos of his Vermont farm: He painted weathered barns, undulating pastures, and tree lines that embraced a spare, evocative New England aesthetic.

ABOUT Layer Layer Bluebird N°2020005

The first layer is usually a ground, applied all over the surface. Then an underdrawing in outline may follow. Then comes underpainting, overpainting, and finally semi-transparent glazes and varnish. All of these layers will affect the appearance of the final painting. I layer my emotions for you.

“She did not know yet how sometimes people keep parts of themselves hidden and secret, sometimes wicked and unkind parts, but often brave or wild or colorful parts, cunning or powerful or even marvelous, beautiful parts, just locked up away at the bottom of their hearts. They do this because they are (perhaps) afraid of the world and of being stared at, or relied upon to do feats of bravery or boldness. And all of those brave and wild and cunning and marvelous and beautiful parts they hid away and left in the dark to grow ....”
