Statement
Johnson considers her work to be imaginative realism. Aside from her common galactic imagery, she also creates realistic portraits, animal imagery, and other imagery from her own emotional experiences. Many of her pieces focus on ruminations about the universe, spirituality, and existence itself. Johnson expresses her journey of self-identity, acceptance, and life purpose while exploring masculinity and femininity to express her queer identity through art.
