Biography

About the Artist:

Hi, my name is Stephanie K. Johnson. I am a teen artist and live in the Pacific Northwest. Painting, drawing, and photography are my favorite hobbies. One day I hope to own my own gallery.

It was my honor to participate in a 9/11 book project 'Messages of Hope, Peace and Love.' It was sponsored by one of my art teachers, Dianne Brudnicki. The painting I donated was titled, 'Home of the Brave.' The original paintings and letters were given to the New York Firefighter families who suffered a loss. A print of my painting was displayed at the Bellevue Art Museum in September of 2002.
