About the Exhibition
This new series of drawings, Psychomagical Landscapes and Other Drawings, bridges Marta Elise Johansen's training in architecture with her practice as an artist. Constructed line drawings meet freehand ink and mixed-media forms, creating compositions that are both precise and intuitive.
Cloak of Adoration reflects on moments of spiritual searching, transformation, and self-discovery. Through meditative drawings, Marta Elise Johansen explores the shared rhythms that connect our inner lives, tracing themes of reflection, intuition, and the universal search for meaning. Each work serves as both a personal meditation and an invitation to contemplate the common threads that bind us across lived experience.
About the Artist
Marta Elise Johansen is an artist and designer based in Sausalito, California. Working primarily with ink on paper, her practice centers on hand drawing as both a meditative discipline and an exploration of abstraction, materiality, and nature.
Raised among artists connected to Black Mountain College, Johansen was deeply influenced by M.C. Richards and Paulus Berensohn, whose philosophies of craft and creative practice continue to inform her work. Formally trained at the University of Southern California School of Architecture, she has collaborated with leading architecture, interiors, hospitality, and design studios including Frederick Fisher and Partners, Nicole Hollis, Studio Collins Weir, Intelligentsia Coffee, The Meteor, Black Ink, and Broc Cellars. She has also taught graduate and undergraduate art and design studios at both the University of Southern California and California Polytechnic Institute, Pomona.
