Cheryl Johnson Artist

Cheryl Johnson’s abstract paintings embody this artist’s lifelong fascination with the beauty of nature and the mysteries of life. Each work elicits complex layered surfaces exploring a multitude of colors, materials and different types of paint layered in combination as she creates this ephemeral subject matter. SPRING is coming. Rain is falling. Yes. Gently falls the Rain. 


As soft rains come the smell of green is sparkling all around. The ground drinks eagerly. It must be spring. And Spring, herself quietly awakens with the dawn.
The rain falls softly and touches each growing branch. Birds, leaves and thirsty trees drink with joy.

Winter has gone and gentle warmth is in the air. The last drops of winter huddle in the corner of the forest drinking the new spring rain. 
Birds appear circling with their shimmering sound; I am happy it must be spring as Gentle Falls the Rain. 

Johnson’s mark making and layered brushwork pivot gracefully between translucence and rainlike hazy opacity, suggesting a kind of mysterious aura. Forms are barely discernible, just coming into focus. 

Using a visual syntax of dense, translucent layers of paint, the artist explores
This dreamlike scene.  Perhaps portals between seasons.  Her complex surfaces evoke inviting and contemplative energy–drawing viewers into her story.


“Viscous Paint for me is exciting to apply and I strive to transcend the material world—color, ambiguous shapes, subtle lines—all serve as a visual dialogue between what cannot be seen but can be felt.
The eye moves between earth and spirit.”
— CHERYL JOHNSON _ CHERI’

Cheryl Johnson Cheryl Johnson is an American abstract artist whose work has appeared in galleries throughout the US. Her works are held in numerous private collections in the US, Europe, and Canada. She maintains a studio in Kauai, HI and divides her time between there and Charlotte, NC. A highly collectible artist. With a long and varied career as an instructional designer and graphic artist. Johnson worked for many years as an instructional designer and graphic designer and was ensconced in a life of technology and marketing. In 2010, she gave up a regular pay cheque at IBM to pursue her love of painting full-time. Cheryl Johnson describes painting as "a way of sharing my internal dialog in an external way. My commitment is to create dynamic yet sensitive, lyrically beautiful, works of art. My work resonates with a passion for color, line and light created to share an expression of overlapping time, memory and reality. My intention is to create work that is truthful and real, that has depth and is compelling from a distance and up close. I have come to believe that gravitas in art relates most specifically to how well the artist can transform an emotional idea into its visual equivalent. ”
