The youngest of eight children, Janie Johnson did not realize her passion for painting in watercolors until well into her life.  Her mother was an artist who painted for 'Southern Pottery', but whose focus was mostly on raising eight children.  Children have been the focus of Janie's life also.  She has pursued her goals in the world of art alongside her commitment to raising healthy, happy kids.  Her supportive spouse and their four children knew that she was always there for them, but that she also had bigger dreams for herself.  With her youngest child in college, NOW is the time for all of the hard work to pay off. 

This is her 'New Beginning'.

Live the Passion!

My biggest dream is sharing my passion with people to create art for themselves and not for the world to 'purchase'.  I was discouraged by an art teacher at a very young age that I was not meant to create art.  WHY would anyone discourage the joy and pleasure that one experiences while creating??!!  My back ground is teaching.  Talent is NOT what it is about!  If you have desire and passion...you can ENJOY!
