Artist Statement for Johanna Girard
|
|
|
A versatile artist proficient in oils, watercolors, pastels and acrylics, Johanna also is interested in a wide variety of subject matter. Whether she is capturing the gentle sparkle in the eyes of a smiling child or rendering the weathered texture of an adobe mission, the artist always brings a strong sense of color and design to her strikingly realistic works.
"I don't explore any dark or cynical themes in my artwork. I think there is far too much of that in the world these days. I leave the heavy social commentary to editorial writers and politicos. I think that as an artist I have an obligation to bring an uplifting message into the world, and to help people to appreciate the simple beauty of our everyday surroundings. Things that may otherwise be taken for granted, or viewed as mundane, such as the morning sunlight streaming in through a kitchen window, can be a thing of beauty. I am energized and overjoyed by the sensation of perceiving light and color, and my paintings are all about that sensual joy."
