Artist Statement
In creating art, I explore the space and rhythm of the scenic pastoral farmland and
majestic mountains, employing vivid strokes with rich color and paint. I am evoking the
inner feelings of what I sense visually in the world about me. What my eyes see, stirs a
desire to respond with my brush, to render images of beauty from nature and subtleties
of my surroundings.
Biography
Carol Johansen prefers to paint directly from life. Recovering from a horse riding
mishap, she realized it was time to take up painting seriously. She paints in her free
time before and after school, and eagerly awaits summer vacation, when she can paint
plein air scenes filled with the ever-changing landscape from daylight to dark. In winter
she captures resplendent snowscapes, figure, and still life.
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Carol Johansen married her high school sweetheart and
raised six children in the beautiful Sanpete Valley of rural central Utah. Carol graduated
with a bachelor degree from Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah and has taught
middle school art education for 25 years.
