Susan Bienen Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n

“STONE WALLS, GRAVES, AND FISHING SHACK WINDOWS”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johnson states, \u201cThis group of paintings celebrates lichen-covered landscapes and fishing shack windows, all of which make connections.<\/span> <\/b>The fishing shack windows connect and reflect views, and sometimes suggest still lives \u2014 window panes jammed with dusty paraphernalia. <\/span>Pale lichen connects stone walls and trees, and makes the world green, while golden lichen creates spiral patterns against somber gravestones, connecting and transforming a dying place into a living one. <\/span>For many years, the beach was my favorite place for plein-air drawing. Seated near the water\u2019s edge (where all the natural elements connected), I drew rocks, seaweed, sand and sea as the tide changed.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Artist Bio:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/strong>Born and raised in New York City, I graduated from the High School of Music and Art, Brandeis University and studied Interior Design at the Boston Architectural College. <\/span>I typically paint subjects that I know well, places where I\u2019ve lived or, like the Vineyard, feel like home. The knowledge and familiarity are starting points, providing inspiration and focus for my work.<\/span><\/p>\n
