Wesley Johnson Art

American, b. 1934

Wesley Johnson was born in Ojai, California, in 1934 and educated at Ventura College and the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was also a pupil of Howard Warshaw and Andre L'Hote. The cubist style of Warshaw, combined with the airy and light feeling of impressionism and the abstraction of expression, influenced Johnson's style of painting. His paintings often contain large, sweeping strokes, but subtle use of color that is evocative of his spontaneous, non-objective style. Johnson also has been widely exhibited throughout the Western United States. He has received many awards for his art, including the prestigious James D. Phelan Award for Literature and Art.
