“perhaps the mission of the artist is to interpret beauty to people - the beauty within themselves.”

~ Langston hughes

Joy johnson is a multi-disciplinary artist and curator. Her practice spans from large-scale public murals to intimate works on paper; each piece layered with color, texture, and form evoking both movement and memory.

“I aim to create work that resonates both emotionally and intellectually. Art, to me, is more than a visual experience. It is a pulse, a dialogue, and a reflection of the human spirit. I hope my work speaks to you, not just in what you see, but what is reminiscent and held.”

“MY Art blends the recognizable with abstraction, often drawing inspiration from music, architecture, and lived experiences. Through vibrant palettes and dynamic composition, I aim to capture the energy of liberation and the complexity of identity, focusing on the histories and futures of BIPOC lifestyle.”
