“Cecile Ryden Johnson was a twentieth-century American watercolorist who embraced the “Plein air” tradition of artists who left their studios for the “open-air” and painted in natural settings directly from nature. With her transparent watercolors, action sketches, and oils, Johnson gained worldwide recognition for capturing the unique beauty and feel of natural color, light, and shade of locations around the world and as a painter of sports and winter Olympic events.” Many of her paintings were reproduced as prints and lithographs, including these prints from the Memorable Mountain Series commissioned by Skiing Magazine.

Johnson passed away in 2010. Along with framed, signed prints of Vermont mountains from the Memorable Mountains series for the Museum’s collection, she also donated these signed prints for the Museum use in 2003.
