Experience

Artist Biography
Luise Mendler-Johnson is a St. Albert artist who enjoys working in watercolour and acrylic paints. A long-time resident of St. Albert (originally from Germany), she loves capturing local scenery in impressionistic paintings and expressive, spontaneous sketches. You may spot her occasionally with a sketchbook in hand or behind an easel, painting from life in our beautiful neighbourhoods.
Artist Statement
In my compositions I strive to capture that fleeting moment when light and shadow transform an ordinary scene into something magical. Suddenly, dramatic shapes, colours, and abstract patterns are revealed. I feel most at home in the sweet spot between realism and impressionism. Colour choices and mark making are an expression of my emotional response which, I hope, will resonate with viewers of my work.
Art Instruction Experience
Private watercolour lessons.
