About the Item

In Rebecca Johnson's stone sculpture “Aquifer,” two lusciously polished basalt raindrops stand perched at the edge of the tall base as if ready to fall off, leaving behind only dryness. Inspired by the parched Northern California climate, the sculptures in Johnson's 'Rain Collection' serve as both a celebration of rain as the source of all life, and an expression of anguish at the extreme weather causing so much harm. Rebecca Johnson grew up in an art-centric family in rural Hopewell, New Jersey. Her parents were designers, artists, and art educators and "Life is Art" was the family credo. This philosophy enriched and continues to inform Johnson's art and career. She received her BFA from Tyler School of Art and her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She studied bronze casting at the Johnson Atelier in New Jersey and stone carving in quarries in Vermont. Grants, fellowships, shows in galleries and museums, commissions, critical acclaim, and teaching positions at Dartmouth and Kenyon Colleges distinguished her career.  Johnson now lives and works in Mendocino County in Northern California, a place of raw elemental forces. She creates paintings inside a large renovated barn at her studio in the Anderson Valley. The doors of the studio open to a hillside meadow filled with her stone sculpture. The calm beauty of this rural place resonates from her work.
