Jay J. Johnson |
Jay J. Johnson resides in America's northeast and travels widely across the North American continent. At Cornell University he studied both Art and Natural History, gaining an in-depth scientific knowledge of his wild subjects while at the same time learning the fundamentals of Traditional and Modern Art. Working today in his studio, Johnson follows the time-honored tradition of painting with oils on fine linen, capturing the movement, spirit, and realsim of American wildlife. His paintings have been exhibited in more than 30 museums nationwide, including "Artists of America," "Birds in Art," "Great American Artists," and the "Society of Animal Artists." He has also been invited to exhibit at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Many national magazines have featured articles about his paintings, such as American Artist, U.S.Art, Southwest Art, and Wildlife Art. |
