Lee Johnson
Lee enjoys painting pets in oil or acrylic on canvas.  
Capturing the essence of the pet's personality is
foremost in her creative mind.  The eyes and nose are
really a challenge; they communicate who these
wonderful creatures are.  After the first few brush
strokes, Lee takes a breather and stands back to assess
the progress.  Slowly, the beloved pet begins to take
upon a life of its own.  The painting process is like a
dance between Lee and the canvas, and develops into a
dance between Lee and the painted pet.
Lee Johnson began her art career as an apprentice goldsmith in
the New Jersey, and since she refers to herself as a “visual
learner,” she mastered her craft well. Some 26 years later,
this multi-talented designer is living life Rabun County, Georgia
style. She’s still creating custom jewelry, but her range of
talents and their off-spring have both broadened and deepened.
“I love melting bronze on copper,” she says of the copper
jewelry she creates.  And, in the last few years, she’s
discovered painting. It began in Florida, before moving to
Georgia, when she undertook to paint the portrait of a friend’s
grandchild.  
Painting, she discovered, was “fun” and totally different from
metal work. It’s a medium she has pursued with her usual focus
and determination to task.
