I haven’t met Noel in person yet: I saw her works on Facebook and admired them so much that I wanted to meet her. It is clear to me that Noel is a natural artist. I contacted her using Facebook and here we are.
NOEL JOHNSON
"Painting is like a dance. At times leading and at times following. The best chance to have a successful painting is to fully engage in the moment," she says of her way of creating.
Retired from a career as a Army Chaplain, Johnson has rekindled her early passion for painting, which she studied as a young person in California with Don Graham at the Chouinard Art Institute which later became California Institute of the Arts. The art style known as "process" was the training of the important influences in her method. Other process teachers and mentors were Craig Kauffman, Robert Irwin, Ed Moses and Ed Kienholz.
If you wish to purchase a piece, email chaplain_noel@yahoo.com. These are works on paper in mixed media, primarily acrylic paint, with inks, oil pastel, and pencil.
