The landscape that surrounds us has the ability to affect us subconsciously as we go on with our day to day lives. Anne Johnson pulls these images out from the subconscious and creates palpable works on paper that confront the viewer in a way that cannot be ignored. Transforming the landscape into bright pastel works, Anne Johnson gives us a fresh way to view our surroundings, using her own psyche as the medium. – Christina Anastassopoulos, 2010
Artist statement:
My pastel pictures reflect the design I see around me in Ottawa–buildings, windows, roads, cars, the sun, the rain, the sky, the clouds, woven into created paintings and abstract art.The fresh pastels on paper are important because they show happy feelings. – Anne Johnson, 2010
