Molly Johnson
Artist Biography
I have been a professional artist for over 30 years, receiving my formal education from the American Academy of Art and The Academy of Fine Art.
I have taught for colleges, high schools and elementary school and often jury local, national and international art exhibitions. I ran a private Art Academy for 8 years that was internationally recognized as only one of 75 schools worldwide accredited through The Art Renewal Center.
My work has been included in national and international exhibitions and can be found in private collections in the States and Australia.
At this time in the studio, my concentration is focused on creating a new body of work, painting commissions, working with ceramics and illustrating books and book covers.
My studio is located in a historical 1909 flour mill that I have renovated into 3 floors of space. Within this space, I have a classroom, gallery and store along with ceramics and painting studios.
I enjoy hosting two sales a year that consist of over 60 artisans where these sales give the local artists an opportunity to showcase their works and it allows me to interact with the customers and art appreciators.
Creating art is a gift from God that I take very seriously. I love to use my gifts to create beautiful works and I do my best to share my knowledge with others through teaching and exhibitions.
