Rosslyn Johnson

Creativity in some form has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. That creativity has found its outlet in creating artworks on canvas or board. Using acrylic and mixed media, various texturing techniques give my art a contemporary look. After applying many thin paint layers and glazes, I know my work is complete in that when I step back, the painting invites me to walk into the scene before me, which has captured that moment in time. Described as “contemporary realism”, I like to say that I paint what I see, as I see it.

 

My subject matter is varied, including landscapes, streetscapes, beach scenes, native birds and flowers. My greatest joy comes from the magnificent scenery of my homeland, from the South Island high country and turquoise glacial lakes to the beaches, mountains and rivers of the North Island. I believe the flora and fauna of New Zealand is unsurpassed in its natural beauty.

 

I also enjoy painting scenes from around the world that catch my eye. My art is an excuse to travel and the sights I see give me a reason to paint!

 

My work is in private collections in New Zealand and many countries around the world, including the UK and Ireland, USA, Canada, Spain, Sweden Taiwan and Australia.
