OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Shannon Deana Johnson Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I am a Knoxville, TN-based mixed media painter.
My process is intuitive.
I work to create a balance between harmony and contrast, simplicity and accumulation, and stillness and motion.
As the painting progresses, I often add more concrete elements such as botanical or figurative shapes.
In this latest series called, “Story of a Girl,” I have been exploring the use of imagery connected to the idea of femininity and aspects of it that are meaningful to me.

More Exhibits
The Allison Hong Merrill Exhibit
I'm a Taiwanese immigrant writer based in Utah. My work mostly centers around my upbringing in Chinese culture, which sadly, conditions women and girls to submit to men's will.
The Sarah O’Leary Exhibit
I am an artist currently exploring watercolor and mixed media work. With my art, I create my own narrative of the the freedom, joy, and sovereignty I have in my body. I am inspired by human emotion, inner wisdom, the female body, and my connection to all that is.
The Elizabeth Molter Exhibit
My mom has always been my inspiration my entire life. She has always been there with me through tough times and even when I had health problems she never left my side for a single minute, not to even get a bite to eat. When I found myself doodling one day writing calligraphy she, along with others, inspired me to start this business and make some money from my passion and talent.
