Jeff Johnson paints out of the sense of wonder he has for the world around him. His bold, impressionist paintings are known for being shot through with coursing light and vivid color. Jeff puts his profound amazement of nature deep into his paintings. His paintings do not brush over the difficulties and pain of life with a sappy representation of perfection, though. Instead, Jeff seeks to express his wonder through a lens of hope and restoration for the world. His paintings can be viewed online at www.artbyjeffco.com and in-person at the Messengers Gallery in downtown Santa Monica.
