JERRON JOHNSTON
EXPRESSIONS OF PEACE
IYE Resident Artist Jerron Johnson's intention is to create art "that will connect to the viewer both visually and spiritually. I invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the artwork and allow their imagination and their soul to experience the essence of the piece. Every stroke I make with my brush has a purpose and meaning. I’ve spent many years constructing my own distinctive way of speaking through my work, and I believe I have found my own unique expression. My lifelong love affair with art began when I was very young. From my earliest memories, I remember having the ability to draw with some degree of accuracy. However, it wasn’t until people began to make affirmative comments about my work that I began to understand that I could create with a pencil and paper expressions that were different from
anyone else.
Throughout my life, I have expanded my skill by taking art classes and attending workshops. However, a deal of my knowledge has been gained through self-study and dedicating countless hours to my craft. My overall goal, as an Artist, is to continue growing, sharpening, and expanding my knowledge.
​s Stream of Life
I enjoy painting a wide variety of subjects' and images .Yet I prefer doing portaits because of the challenge of capturing the likeness of the subject. I only feel satisfied with my work once I have captured the essence of the subject. My objective is not only to create beautiful works, but also to tell a story.I've realized that God has blessed me with a wonderful talent. AndI fully intend to use my to enhance the beauty of this world, one painting at a time.I want to reach far beyond the process of simply applying paint to canvas. I want to use my brush to create work that will touch the soul of the viewer, leaving a pleasing and lasting impression in their mind, and enriching the ambiance of any space.
