ARTIST STATEMENT

Lindsay Johnson finds inspiration from objects, experiences, and places, reconstructing narratives about family life into mixed media paintings and sculptures. A storyteller at heart, she captures moments in time, ideas, and dreams constructed with acrylic, photographs, found material, or clay. By layering a variety of imagery and material together, Johnson intentionally invites a wider audience into the artwork. As an artist, parent, and educator, she believes making and viewing art is for all - a welcome venue for inner reflection, conversation, and on occasion - action.
