With degrees from Brown University and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, Johnson has established herself as a multi-talented artist and teacher. Johnson’s artwork has been exhibited across the US and UK, including notable venues such as Oxford's North Wall and London's Guy's Hospital.
