I explore what is beyond water, especially the resting water that is quiet and serene. As I observe the reflections on the water, I delve into the dualities of reflection and depth. Water not only replicates the world and objects in its reflections but also replicates the dreamer as it invites the dreamer into a new experience. Clouds live in symbiosis with deep water as waterlilies with the sky. Water allows images to intersect with each other, making it a universal home for the world underneath and above. I explore this phenomenon using acrylics which has the benefit of conveying the degree of opacity. The depth of water is conveyed with more opaque layers of paint while a transparent and watercolour-like fluidity reveals the overlapping world of sky and water.
Her works are in private collections in the U.S, Canada, the U.K, Germany, India, South Korea and Australia.

Cheryl Johnson describes painting as “a way of sharing my internal dialog in an external way. My commitment is to create dynamic yet sensitive, lyrically beautiful, works of art. My work resonates with a passion for color, line and light created to share an expression of overlapping time, memory and reality. My intention is to create work that is truthful and real, that has depth and is compelling from a distance and up close. I have come to believe that gravitas in art relates most specifically to how well the artist can transform an emotional idea into its visual equivalent. ”
