Thank you for dropping by. I’m Kay Johnson.
I love trying new things and work across a range of different mediums, including oil, pastel, charcoal, watercolour and collage, developing my approach through practice and experimentation.
I’m inspired by the constant changing light, atmosphere and mood, and try to capture the feeling of a place, rather than a literal record of a scene.
I hope you enjoy looking at my paintings.

Hello,
I’m Kay, and this is my space to share my work as an artist.
I work across a range of mediums, including oil, pastel, watercolour and collage, continuing to explore and develop my approach through practice and experimentation.
I’m particularly interested in light, atmosphere and mood, and in capturing a sense of place rather than a literal record of a scene.

Exploring a Theme
I revisited this woodland theme as an experiment, exploring how it might translate across different mediums, including collage, pastel and watercolour.
I often find myself returning to the same subject in different media, curious to see how each one reveals something new.
It encourages a closer look at colour, tone and structure, and a more thoughtful understanding of how each medium behaves.

I hope you enjoy more of my work in the gallery, or reading a little about why I paint and how I got started.

Why Kay Johnson Art?
Art is an important part of my life, allowing me to slow down and observe the world more closely. I’m particularly interested in capturing atmosphere, light and weather, and the changing moods of the landscape.
