Caroline Johnson is an emerging oil painter from the Adelaide Hills, known for her evocative landscapes and still life paintings featuring homegrown produce. A creative influence from her artist mother led Caroline to complete a Bachelor of Visual Art at the Adelaide Central School of Art in 2022.
Her work is inspired by direct engagement with nature, whether through gardening or exploring the South Australian landscape. Caroline’s passion for painting is driven by her love of nature and a sense of urgency to protect it.
Her "still-lifes in the landscape" playfully reflect her connection to her garden and its ever-changing offerings. Through her use of water and glass, Caroline invites diverse interpretations, a theme that runs throughout her still life pieces.
Caroline has participated in the South Australian Living Artist Festival and Loreto SpringART, and has exhibited at Fleurieu Art House, The Main Gallery, and Crafers Atelier. In 2019, her Flinders Ranges-inspired work was featured in an exhibition at Studio Bowden. Solo exhibitions include Fast Painting Slow Food at The Drawing Room and Food for the Soul at the Naracoorte Regional Art Gallery. She has been a finalist in several prestigious landscape prizes and was awarded the 2022 artist residency by the South Australian Nature Foundation.
