Lydia Johnston is a Southern Vermont based artist who has been working in color and design for more than 20 years. Her impressionistic landscapes manage to capture the mood of the moment such as the swaying seed heads of ripening grasses, the sparkle of wildflowers in a meadow and the rippling reflections on water. She is interested in the experience of a fleeting moment rather than the actual details of a location. A sense of the place is created without providing all the details, drawing you continually back to find something new.
