About Crystal Johnson
Represented Artist
Crystal Johnson is a rising artist from Little Rock, Arkansas. Her love for the arts began when she attended Parkview Arts Magnet High School. Faced with numerous serious health issues since elementary school, she needed something constructive to occupy her time. Her illnesses often kept her out of school for extended periods of time. Health issues have prevented her from working or attending college. She began by singing and teaching herself how to play the piano by ear. She has composed over 200 songs and has ventured out to begin playing additional instruments. One day in August 2018, she woke up inspired to paint. Those who saw Crystal’s artwork encouraged her to use art as therapy to help her cope with being ill nearly every day, and since then, she has not stopped painting since.
Crystal has branched out and begun using mixed media in most of my art pieces. She is most known for her unique use of 3D art, using natural hair, jewelry, and fabric in most of her pieces. She also loves to use vibrant colors to draw in viewers’ eyes. Her choice of medium is acrylic because she finds it to go on more smoothly. Her inspiration comes from God-given visions that she often receives in her dreams. She crafts each piece to be unique, having its own personality. Crystal loves challenging her creativity to make her next piece more unique than her last.
