BIO

Johanna Cameron is a painter living in the Pacific Northwest.  

​

Henry Ossawa Tanner penned the phrase that guides Johanna’s passion for painting. He wrote: “I will preach with my brush.” Johanna’s strong faith is integrated into all she creates.

​

This passion to worship God through art also shines through in her desire to teach children. Currently, she serves as the Art Teacher at a Kindergarten-8th grade school. Each week she teaches over 250 children.

​

Johanna remains a passionate advocate for enhancing academic learning and healthy development through childhood creativity. As a painter, she brings expertise and excitement to her Art classroom, creating rich educational experiences for her students. 

​

Johanna’s love for the tactile nature of art education benefits her students. She believes that in a world filled with screens vying for children’s attention, art education provides not only a safe haven of experience for children but a necessary medium to facilitate the development of their imagination. Learning through practice, repetition and encouragement, provides a wonderful appreciation for Art and expression, which then translates into a greater awareness of the world and community.  

 

Johanna is also a graduate student at the Academy of Art University where she is pursuing her degree in Art Education.
