My name is Cathy G. Johnson. I grew up and currently live in Minnesota. I attended the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, where I graduated in Spring 2011 with a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture and a Concentration in Book Arts. I studied abroad for a semester at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, England. I've had various internships with artists and have a background in technical theatre. I currently work as an assistant at the screenprinting and illustration studio Landland. In addition to my art making, I enjoy live music in the evenings and long debates over coffee.

I am an artist who creates drawings, watercolors, texts, comics and artists’ books that work with sentimental thought, humor and sincerity. I draw inspiration from personal journals as well as philosophy and critical theory. I explore themes of legitimacy, youth, fear, and the calm, chaotic desire for everything to just be okay.
