The Honeyfest Committee sincerely appreciates the beautiful artwork created especially for the Honeyfest by local artist, Barb Johnson.  Barb worked closely with the committee to develop a watercolor representation of the important aspects of the festival.  Vibrant and colorful, containing the phrase that has become our slogan, the depth of talent that Barb Johnson brings to the easel is remarkable.

In an era of computerized imagery and graphic design, Barb Johnson, watercolor artist and owner of Rockmill Road Gallery, has created products that reflect a look of "days gone by."  She is also producing paintings that are inspired by God's nature around her.  She often paints in gardens around the county where she is captivated by the beauty of her flowers, plants, and herbs.  She says that nature's palette supplies endless subject matter.  

Her love of nostalgia, antiques, and vintage subjects have influenced her "still life" kitchen paintings which reflect a vibrant look into the past.  People have remarked that her style has a calmness and peaceful look.

Barb is co-owner of a landscape and garden tool manufacturing company and has recently retired from her marketing and sales responsibilities to follow her life-long dream of creating beautiful things. Barb's line of original paintings, frameable prints, gift packaged note cards are a coordinating blend.

Her aprons and totes are ideal for kitchen and gardening.  They are a reflection of Barb's ability to take coordinating fabrics and her signed fabric prints to become a central subject on these beautiful hand made items.
