Art SHOW for December 2002
featuring Johnnie SHANNON Watkins

ABOUT THE ARTIST 
Johnnie SHANNON Watkins

My long -time interest in Art did not materialize (except on a small scale) until 1991, when I began my first Art course at Montgomery College, Takoma Park Campus.

In 1993, I began painting classes on the same campus, under the instruction of Professor Wilfred Brunner who has encouraged cultivation of habits of original thinking, independent decision making, and self-discipline.

Many of my paintings are abstract (with an occasional design or collage.) My medium is acrylic and several hours are spent working with different textures - resin sand, stucco, natural sand, opaque flakes, blended fibers, tiny marbles, burlap, cloth, tree bark, angel wings, beads (glass and others,) chenille sticks and balls, liquigems, feathers, and even peanut skins. Most of the paintings in this collection are textured.

ENJOY THE EXHIBIT!!
