 "Autumn" 16"x20" Oil on Board

 
About the Artist:

 

The landscapes that Stephanie K. Johnson creates in oils invite viewers to experience the glow and mystery of the old masters. Stephanie's original inspiration for landscapes came from her first visit to a Hudson River School exhibition at the Tacoma Art Museum. The dramatic skies, exquisite detail and the beautiful colors made a great impression on her. The artists from the Hudson River School created large, thematic pieces to show the world the memorable experiences from their journeys. Now, Stephanie desires to capture the joy she discovers in her travels as they did. Her European cafe and city scenes remind viwers of that special trip where they enjoyed a warm cup of espresso or a long, leisurely stroll down a cobblestone path. 

Stephanie's career began at a very young age. She sold her first original painting at the Redmond Saturday Market at the tender age of eleven. At twelve she entered her first gallery; Artisans on Taylor and by fifteen Stephanie had designed her own website. Over the years, Stephanie's family has supported her in many ways. They generously help her with art shows and galleries. Also, Stephanie's parents have opened up their home so that Stephanie could have a studio to work in. This allows her to create the beautiful landscapes she loves in a warm and comfortable environment. 

Many say Stephanie is "...too young to have such maturity, yet her skills defy age and time." Stephanie is an artist with the talent to succeed and the courage to press forward.
