Linda Clark Johnson: Sunshine & Shadows
Linda Clark Johnson: Sunshine & Shadows
Exhibit: May 2 – June 21, 2026
Linda Clark Johnson is a Sacramento artist who primarily works with cyanotype, an early photographic process that uses UV light to create luminous blue images without a camera or negative. Captivated by sunlight and always gathering plants, she prints in her backyard, capturing botanical impressions and their shadows on watercolor paper or fabric. She then uses natural toners, collage, watercolor, and colored pencil to add layers of depth and detail to her work. Through her cyanotype prints, she celebrates experimentation and the wonder of the natural world, creating art that feels tranquil and atmospheric.
Artist Talk & Reception: Sunday, May 17, 1-2:30 PM (Free)
Join artist Linda Clark Johnson as she discusses her artistic process in working with cyanotype, including her love of sunlight and her ways of gathering and arranging plants. Linda will also show visitors how to get started with cyanotype through an artist demo, as well as explore her current work in her exhibit, Sunshine & Shadows.
This exhibit is sponsored by Wil & Karen Uecker.
The Pence Gallery is open 11:30 AM – 5 PM, Tuesday through Sunday (closed Monday).
