San Jose artist,

nature studies. Using a palette knife, she
brings falling leaves, a cluster of
blossoms and twisted tree bark to life.
Early morning finds her standing before
her easel, painting a leaf she found along
a path, using the natural light.
The walls of her home are alive with
colorful blossoms, branches, fall foliage,
and texture. She even surrounded her
fiery maple and oak leaf canvases with
small spackled leaves embossed directly
on the wall.
Johnson (now Pepin)  finds painting
fulfilling and expressive. "You totally lose
track of time, going right inside the work,"
she said. For her next challenge she
plans to capture the texture and vibrancy
of turbulent lava flows. Her four canvases
of gnarly bristlecones sold for $1500
each, and she has received commissions
for more. The ancient trees are well
suited for Johnson's (now Pepin)
multi-tonal, dimensional, textured style.
"For me, painting is a joy," she said.
