Johnna Grew up in Coastal Alabama. She has traveled and studied oil painting extensively for more than twenty years. The love of her native region brought her home to see again the specific charms of the coastal south. Inspired by the beauty of its people and places, she seeks to convey this beauty through the medium of portraiture and landscape. She is primarily an oil painter but also enjoys pastels.

  The elements of Johnna's style have evolved from her trove of experiences. Being primarily a representational painter, her understanding of color relationships and her precise draftsmanship characterize her painting technique.She has taught and studied in many professional workshops. Johnna's paintings stand out in a room of contemporary works.
