Homer Johnson

Interviewed by SAI in 2001 by the Fleisher Art Memorial team of Fern Denney (docent), Nick Arnold (videographer), and Thora Jacobson (advisor.)

Artist's Statement:
My work has always been involved with movement, gesture, and light. If I can still feel the gesture at the end of the painting process, I feel that I have succeeded.
