Welcome!
This is part of the website (http://www.wwjohnston.net/wj/esperanza/esperanza.htm) to honor this extraordinary artist.
I first encountered her work in 2012 at a retrospective exhibition at Arte Americas in Fresno, CA, and was struck by her thorough mastery of watercolor, drawing and every medium she used.
While not all of her works are of her top quality, her top quality ranks with any of the best artists in the world. Having at that time recently visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and seen Rembrandt's works, I realized she was his equal when she chose to be.
