Artist Bio

Kisha Johnson

Kisha Johnson, a versatile multimedia artist, channels her talents across photography, abstract painting, and digital design. While hailing from Brooklyn, her artistic journey was enriched during her formative years in Virginia, under the nurturing guidance of her mother and high school art teacher. Embracing art's potential for transformative healing, Kisha is committed to leveraging her creative endeavors as a catalyst for social change. She has been involved in "Brownsville Matters," an exhibition that showcases emerging artists from Brooklyn interpreting East Brooklyn's cultural identity to promote community building through public art. This exhibition received support from the NEA, The Municipal Art Society of New York and Brooklyn Arts Council. Most recently, Kisha participated in a group exhibition at Meager Evers College in Brooklyn. This showcase presented the works of eight photographers and a videographer, each drawing from their experiences as Brooklyn-based street, studio, and documentary photographers dedicated to broadening the American narrative. Their individual narratives contribute to the mosaic of Brooklyn, now acknowledged as an evolving nexus of artistic creation. Kisha has established herself through a series of exhibitions, beginning with her solo show "Through The Eyes of Beauty" in July 2014, which spotlighted her digital designs. In 2019, she unveiled her "The Believer Series", intertwining abstract painting and photography into a captivating body of work. Notable among her exhibitions is "Exposure" at Ceres Gallery in Chelsea in December 2020, where her art was part of a unique rotating exhibit featuring multiple one-person shows, each bringing forth a distinct personal vision.
