About the Artist and Art: Johanna has been creating personal and professional art for over fifty years. A California native, she is a graduate of San Diego State University with a degree in art/graphic design. She creates art from a place that seeks a calm, quiet connection with the natural world. Clouds usually play a dominant role in her paintings. Ever changing, molding and nurturing the planet under them. They are the antithesis of the vast solid earth below.
