Marta Elise Johansen: A Suggestion of Nature

Sarah Shepard Gallery is pleased to announce its first exhibit with Bay Area artist Marta Elise Johansen entitled A Suggestion of Nature.

The artist works with ink on paper making line drawings that are studies in meditation, creating one line at a time, one drawing at a time, by natural light in her studio in Sausalito.

For this body of work her drawings attempt to embody our mental and physical sense of self – our basic instincts, the reality of ourselves and our morals – learned and ideal. They are personal reflections of the artist’s sense of place in the world- a sensory reflection of her experience.
