Featured Artist: Johanne Ford
I began my artists journey as a potter. Enjoying and refining skills in hand building and wheel throwing using terracotta, stoneware and raku.
It was during a break from my teaching career that I was able to attend a classes run by Karin Zella and discovered a love for acrylic paint. After retiring from teaching, the death of my husband and emerging from covid lockdowns, I was warmly welcomed into the Wednesday morning activity group lead by Gaye Pereira-Jackson. This group is a highlight of my week and has renewed my love for creating, especially with acrylics.
I create and paint for my own pleasure and use my time painting as a form of active meditation.
My painting skills are self taught and raw and each piece I work on evolves very slowly.
