Fresh Perspectives
Jorie Johansen
Jorie Johansen's work represents new life, or Nouvelle Vie, as she calls the series. After a long break from creative pursuits due to everyday life, the pandemic forced Johansen to slow down and re-evaluate her priorities; she was able to take some time to indulge her creative side and explore new avenues for expression. The Nouvelle Vie series, with its experimentation with color and pattern, represents a blossoming of hope and happiness for which Johansen's soul has been searching for.

About the Artist

Jorie Johansen
Jorie Johansen is an artist and photographer from Whitefish Bay, WI who spends her summers in Door County.  Her work is a celebration of color, imagination and play. Using acrylics, she creates bright, whimsical compositions that blend abstraction with recognizable forms. Each painting invites viewers to pause, smile, and connect with their own sense of wonder. I’m drawn to bold palettes, layered textures, and fluid shapes that suggest liveliness and joy. I paint not to represent the world as it is, but as it feels in my soul.
