Johanna Meharg has had an interest in art since childhood. Her early creative expression led her to study art and design at Central Technical School in Toronto. She is primarily a studio artist using water media on paper and canvas. Her loose painterly style is impressionistic and often abstract.

"My vision concerning my work has changed over the years and may continue to do so. I paint to create art that my viewers respond to intellectually and emotionally. By using vibrant colours and a calming center of interest, my aim is to engage the viewer. I am able to interpret what I see and feel by using colour and texture in a variety of ways."
