Mars Hall Gallery will celebrate the life and art of Kris Johnson with
a show titled "Joie de Vivre". Kris passed on August 30th, 2022 after a
battle with cancer. A reception with family and friends will be held on
Sunday, June 25th from 2-5 p.m.
Kris attended Bennington College, Williams College, Boston University
and earned a BS in Law Enforcement at Northeastern University before
picking up a brush and discovering her passion for painting in 1988.
She spent several decades with her life partner, Don Johnson, in Spain
and Southeastern France. Her use of bold shapes and vibrant colors
radiate through both her American and European paintings. Her subject
matter expresses her love of the earth, her beloved animals and her
compassion for humanity.
"She reduces matter to geometric equivalents and then, through color,
organizes into patterns. Simplification of form and an often arbitrary
palette combine to express a world I often feel but seldom see."
Phil Isaacson, Maine Sunday Telegram
