May 25, 2006 Johnson began painting with acrylics on canvas.  Having worked artistically with wood and carpet over the past twenty plus years he felt a call to paint.  As he often states, “….the hardest part was going to the paint store…”.

Johnson is a member of African Americans for the Arts, Atlanta, GA, a community arts organization, comprised of  artists in varied disciplines, several of whom are nationally and internationally recognized.

Johnson's work has been awarded in group art exhibitions and has begun to find its way into art collectors homes and offices.
