Charlotte Johnson

Charlotte Johnson has been making art since she was a child, creating and selling greeting cards, jewelry, signs, banners and even commercial truck door paintings, while in primary and secondary school. She received her art degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1974 and has been teaching and experimenting with various media since that time.

Having a 30+ year career as an academic library also allowed her to concentrate on bookmaking, from hand papermaking, typography, artist books, movables and electronic books. Her love of traveling through more than 68 countries has also taught her to appreciate and incorporate the cultural artifacts of other societies into her own work. Her artwork has been exhibited in major museums throughout the United States, Australia, Africa and Europe.

Fascinated with photography and computers since the 1970s, she served on the International Standards Committee that established the epub electronic book format, experimenting with and evaluating early reading and digital photography devices as they were being developed. These activities led her to speaking invitations at numerous conferences throughout the United States, as well as in Australia, Canada, China, Mexico. She has used many of these tools to create and enhance her own mixed media work.Charlotte Johnson has been making art since she was a child, creating and selling greeting cards, jewelry, signs, banners and even commercial truck door paintings, while in primary and secondary school.
