Welcome to my ArtfulEarth!
I'm Denise Johnson, an alcohol ink artist, guide and ink guru. I've been doing artsy things all my life. My earliest recollection is taking a wooden cutout of a chicken and gluing dried beans to it. Thankfully, I've picked up a few more creative skills along the way. Chickens are still with me, beans, not so much..
I paint with pure magic. It comes in small bottles. A Wild Child with a mind of its own and an attitude of pure joy. And the colors - oh my yes, the colors! These inks create stunning effects that no other medium can produce. I have many tools and techniques up my sleeve; alcohol brush, squirt bottles, spray bottles, stampers, paper towel, toilet paper....ABRACADABRA!
I've discovered by using my intuition in following where the inks lead, my paintings take on a life of their own. I paint on Corian, a beautiful material usually used for expensive countertops. My husband has a Corian cutting board business and purchases scraps that would otherwise be headed for a landfill. He garage crafts beautiful and functional Corian cutting boards. I scoop up his scraps (sometimes I help myself to non-scraps, don't tell him) and transform them into beautiful works of art.
I love that I can conjure up joy and happiness for myself, for those who purchase my art and for those who come to paint with me. My intent is simple.. I'd like to spread happiness and joy and have fun like a 5 year old!. As one lovely lady commented at a recent show "Your work is so uplifting I can't help feeling happy!" and like the Hokey Pokey, that's what it's all about!
I hear my soul knocking. I answer with my art.
