Adrian and Eleanor Johnson
Rosemaled Wood items
Their interest in rosemaling began in 1978 with a community college education class taught by a Gold Medal winner.  They thoroughly enjoyed their experience and continued painting after completing the class.  All of their items use rosemaling colors, oil paints, and are completed in the Telemark design of fanciful flowers, scrolls, and accents.  Today their hobby keeps them busy teaching, providing programs, and displaying their art at craft shows and festivals.
