About the Artist:
Renaye Johnson has always had a love of art, both appreciating it and creating it. After
many years of working in the Social Services field, she can now devote much of her
time to painting, drawing and photography. Renaye enjoys taking photographs of
events, people and beautiful scenes. She then has the opportunity of creating acrylic
paintings from these photographs. She also enjoys figure drawing with graphite and
charcoal.
Renaye Johnson has studied with Patsy Taylor at the Center for Community Art in
Walnut Creek, CA. She attributes much of her artwork to time spent in these classes.
She has also studied with Jody Mattison and Seema Mahboob who have influenced her
work along with many of her classmates.
