Anne Johann
My work focuses on environmental awareness. Land and seascape paintings are my instrument to inspire others to see the beauty of the natural world, and to communicate the importance of being good stewards of the Earth. If figures appear, they are secondary, expressing our spiritual union with nature. I work primarily in oil and watercolor.
