“Pinkwater Gallery has had the honor of showing Roxie Johnson’s work over the years. Visitors to the gallery are always charmed by her magical work, notably the small collage paintings housed in box-like frames that lend them a monumentality that belies their small size. A poet, educator and fine artist, Roxie creates richly layered work clearly born of patience, love and care…qualities that define the artist herself.”

“I was blown away by Roxie Johnson's art. The work moved me. I was surprised by my reaction, which I have never before experienced with abstract images. There was something jewel-like in the combination of a rich color palette, composition melding shape with texture, and framed clarity. Astonishing, ravishing, deep.”

“Roxie Johnson is a Dutchess County-based artist and educator whose richly layered drawings, paintings, and mixed-media works explore the interplay between organic and constructed forms. Drawing inspiration from found objects, memory, and the traces of human presence, she creates intricate visual environments that balance order and chaos.”
