Emily Johansen
I have been painting for over 20 years. Whether at home in Portland or at my summer refuge in Brooksville, Maine, surrounded by beauty, family and friends, I paint away everyday concerns. I desire to create reflections of things I love (food, flowers) and what feels constant (the power of beauty). I try to take these idyllic elements of home to a place of my own keeping.
The changing colors, forms and textures of my environment continue to inspire me to instill every painting with a sense of joy and wonder.
