Celestial Series

The moon has had an artistic pull on Johannah for a while now. Over the years she has created a variety of work featuring the full moon. The moon is the main character in some pieces or plays a supporting role in others. There’s even a series of tiny landscapes with full moons lighting the sky.

More recently, the work expanded to include other varieties of celestial bodies: the dark new moon, a radiant sun, and the lunar phases.

Two Moons

“New Moon”

“Full Moon in Purple Sky”

“Full Moon in Black and Green”

“Sunny Day”

“Phases of the Moon”

The largest interpretation of the moon in the more recent Celestial series features a large full moon rising over a slate blue sky. Stars sparkle softly in the distance. You can see a short video of the mosaic under construction below.
