watercolor painting & paperie
Welcome! I am so happy you're here.
I’m Johnna Elyse! I’m a watercolor artist. When growing up, my family would visit my Gramma’s house and I would always sneak into her studio to look at her paints, brushes, and whatever she was working on at that time. She was a beautiful artist and I loved seeing the different things she would create, and was always in awe of her work. When she passed away, I was lucky enough to keep some of her paints and brushes.
Those brushes you see in my photos? Or those paint tubes? They were most likely hers. Because of her influence, it has always been a dream of mine to paint.
Whether its one place or ten, your home or a friends, where you had your first date or where you got married, I do this because I love creating keepsakes for the places you want to remember. To me, it’s not just about the painting or design, its about the memory it evokes when you look at it.
My goal is to create memories that people will hold on to, just as my Gramma did for me.
