A native Floridian, Wendi Vann Johnson finds inspiration in the beautiful tropical
surroundings and colors of the coastal land that she has always known as "home".
Wendi (Vann) Johnson credits her parents, David and Sandi Vann, for building within her a love for art and all
things beautiful throughout her childhood. Wendi’s father was an art student of the Ringling School of Art in
Sarasota, Florida and his love and knowledge of art and practice of interior design exposed her to art in many
forms during her formative years.
As an adult, she was strongly encouraged by her husband Charles to pursue her interest in art and painting. She quickly fell in love with painting in oils and it remains her preferred medium. A hallmark of Wendi’s paintings is to
place in details that are only seen when a viewer approaches the painting for a closer look. Her goal is to reward
the viewer with the joy of discovery, seeing something that otherwise would have been overlooked.
Wendi signs her paintings “Vann Johnson”, her maiden and married names combined as a nod to her parents and husband for their roles in her development as a person and as an artist.
