Ronalee Johannsen
I grew up enjoying being outdoors in nature and that is why it is often my subject in paintings. I am especially passionate about the world of plants and its interaction with insects and animals.
Through drawing and painting I have learned more about the natural world. I immerse myself in my subject and then attempt to step back and express my experience in a painting.
Plein air painting with a palette knife has brought me to a new place where emotion and nature converge. It is exciting and unsettling at the same time as I recognize the chaos that lies beneath the surface.
I want to acknowledge and thank all the artists and teachers who have shared their visions with me.
