Alison Johnson’s work captures the powerful intersection between nature and emotion. Rooted in her deep connection to the landscape, her paintings have evolved from direct observation into something more abstract — a visual response to feeling rather than form. With each piece, she explores atmosphere and mood through expressive mark-making and rich, layered colour.

Her oil paintings are known for their sweeping skies, drifting mists, and oceans that seem to hover between light and shadow. Subtle details emerge from these dreamlike compositions — sometimes a figure, sometimes a suggestion of place — but the real focus lies in the sensation each work evokes. There is a compelling stillness to her pieces, yet also movement, created through her masterful balance of tone, space, and contrast.

Alison’s seascapes in particular offer a contemporary take on a timeless tradition, drawing viewers into deep, brooding scenes where light gently breaks through. Whether viewed as landscapes or pure abstraction, her work brings a quiet intensity to any interior — thoughtful, emotive, and beautifully immersive.
