About The Artist

Christopher M. W. Johnson was born in Michigan. He was raised in the small village of Colon Michigan. Colon has the distinction of being the magic capital of the world. Growing up in this environment gave him early exposure and facination with the theatrical arts, thus using darkness and mystery to bring an enlightened form of communication. Christopher spent his years at college working in the theater to pay for his art education. He attended colleges in Michiagn and Florida taking only art courses. While attending, he reformed the College Artist League and was voted as its president. He organized fund raisers to pay for trips to art museums and art shows supported by members of the Art League. In the early 90's he was involved in a house fire that dramatically changed his life focus and outlook on the subject of death. He was burnt on the upper half of his body, and his eyes were burnt leaving him temporally blind. During this time of blindness he learned to refine his sculpting skills and learned how to draw using only touch. For a short time period he lost contact with reality, causing him to expand his creative thought process to a broader spectrum. Nearly losing his family and his own life gave him a new apprecaition of the talents he possesed and a new drive to perfect those skills. In the late 90's he moved to Florida to continue his passion for the scenic arts. Over the years he worked on motion picture films, tv shows, commercials, theme parks, museums and many theme entertainment venues around the world allowing him to explore art from a variety of cultures. He also became involved in the local art scene in Orlando, joining the Orlando Visual Artist League, becoming curator at the A.K.A. Lounge and featured artist at Club 57 West.
