PORTRAIT ARTISTS DIRECTORY

NEW HAMPSHIRE
NILS P. JOHNSON JR.
Figurative work is the most challenging
type of painting. It either looks like the
subject or does not—there is little middle
ground. A painting, just as importantly,
must show not merely what is there, but
what the artist feels about the subject.
Price Range: $5,000-$7,500

MISSOURI
KEITH JOHNSON
There is an elusive moment in the process
of painting when the subject appears to
“come to life.” This suggestion of spirit can
often be more truthful than the outward
depiction of reality. It’s what excites me
about portraiture.
Price Range: $750-$4,000

RIC CONN
I call my portraits alternative portraits
because they are an alternate to the
academic, photorealist conventional
portraits. My work is not conventional,
academic or the new modernism. I am
creating a new avant-garde.
