FASO Collector Recommends: Teresa Lynn Johnson
Biography
Teresa Lynn Johnson, an artist based in New Mexico, has been refining her oil painting expertise for many years, with a focus on western landscapes and both wild and domestic animals. Teresa was born in Coleman, Texas, and spent her formative years living on a secluded four-hundred-acre farm, where she engaged with animals and explored nature daily. This environment fostered her love for wildlife and natural settings.
Her inherent creativity led Teresa into the realm of art after initially pursuing a career as a software analyst for a global company and raising a family. She discovered her passion for oil painting early on and committed to studying through workshops with renowned artists, books, college classes, and self-study.
In 2012, Teresa commenced her professional art journey, being selected as one of twelve artists nationwide for a year-long mentorship under the guidance of noted artist Kevin Macpherson. Since then, she has shown her work in numerous exhibitions and juried shows across New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Nevada, Utah and California, earning accolades such as best in show and top placements. Her collectors span the United States, and she has been featured in various art publications, including Southwest Art Magazine and Western Art Collector Magazine.
Teresa is currently affiliated with several prestigious organizations: American Women Artists (AWA), American Artist Professional League (AAPL), Women Artists of the West – (WAOW, Associate), and Oil Painters of America (OPA). She holds a Fine Art Certification from Sessions Professional School of Design and imparts her expertise as an instructor at The Art Connection in Aztec, New Mexico. Teresa continues to challenge herself through plein air studies and studio work.
Artist Statement
Nature or any light-filled subject fills me with inspiration and captures my imagination for a visual story. My preferred medium for creating these visual stories is oil paint, due to its rich color palette and the ability to develop texture.
When an idea begins to take shape, I typically explore it with a sketchpad, a camera, or plein air studies to create references for further development. Subsequently, I proceed by creating a tonal under-painting followed by painting with my selected color palette. Utilizing larger brushes and palette knives, I initially block in the extensive abstract areas. Gradually, I incorporate finer details with smaller brushes, meticulously ensuring that each brushstroke effectively conveys the intended narrative.
I love the challenge of painting diverse subjects, but primarily I paint animals and western landscapes. There is profound beauty in a flower that manages to bloom in an arid desert or in an elk peacefully grazing in a meadow. My desire is to capture, preserve and share this beauty that surrounds me.
