The flame of Pauline Johnson's interest in art was ignited when her fourth grade teacher displayed many of her paintings for Parents Day. This inspiration evolved when her parents packed up the car for a picnic in the Victorian outdoors . They encouraged her to experience the magic of the Australian bush and ocean. She believes there is something infinitely healing when immersed in nature.
After realising her life's dream, Pauline graduated from Griffith University Qld with a B of Visual Arts. She continued to develop her technique as a Contemporary Impressionist. This allows her the freedom to interpret what she sees with a lively, personal approach. The canvas is covered with vibrant light and colour. Now living in Tasmania, Pauline believes it is an artist's paradise. Craggy peaks and waterfalls of Cradle Mountain, the expansive beaches and the colourful sunsets of Tasmania are her muse.
Pauline's use of rich colours and texture invites viewers to share the beauty in nature. She creates paintings that evoke memories of cherished experiences, perhaps transporting the viewer to a quieter, simpler time.
Pauline Johnson has attracted many collectors in Canada, USA, Britain and Australia. She has won many awards including:
First Prize- Incinerator Gallery Art Award Melbourne, People's Choice Award - Hobart Rotary Exhibition. Highly Commended - Cygnet Art Awards
The landscape is a never ending source of inspiration, one which will never end with its ever changing moods.
