Wendy Johnsen is a Central Alberta artist inspired by the mountainous scenery and beautiful parkland vistas that surround her. Her work is sought after by friends, family and strangers alike as it captures and exaggerates the stunning beauty of the Western Canadian landscape. “The marvelous big skies, sunsets, mountains and trees in this part of the country have never ceased to amaze me and have provided endless ideas for my paintings. Putting paintbrush to canvas has always been a way for me to capture the finer details and elusive moments in nature.”
Born and raised in Spruce View, Alberta. Her love of art continued all through her life . In the midst of farming and raising a family she always found time to put her thoughts and feelings on canvas. “It has become an extension of who I am.” Recently retired from full time farming she is now happy to paint in her little studio and keep her passion for creating alive. Wendy is represented in very prestigious galleries including Mountain Galleries in Fairmont Hotels in Banff & Jasper.
