Amanda Johnson

Welcome!

Art has been a passion of mine since as long as I can remember. I love creating pieces that are whimsical with a folk art twist. My preferred medium is acrylic on canvas.

I was born and raised in New Mexico where I currently reside with my husband and our cat, Tatum (who happens to appear in a few of my paintings!). I am a self-taught artist who specializes in folk art designs and whimsical fine arts and crafts. I love using bright, bold colors to bring life to my pieces.

As you can tell, I am crazy about cats, any and all types! ;-) I also enjoy drawing and painting animals, flowers and cartoon illustrations. Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is another subject I enjoy painting as it holds a special place in my heart having grown up in the Southwest.

Also, I would like to announce that I have been selected to show my art at the following events in 2018:
