Stephen Johnson was born in Tampa and raised in Southwest Florida. He studied art at the University of South Florida earning a Bachelor of Arts degree with a photography concentration in 1974. Johnson had a long and expansive career in the visual arts before his sudden passing in the fall of 2022. He is best known for his mixed-media collage paintings wherein he combined diverse imagery, varied materials and rhythmic textures to create complex works of art. Many of which serve as diagrams of the cosmos and natural worlds at both their grandest and most infinitesimal levels. In addition to being an artist, Johnson was an educator who taught art classes at Centers for the Arts. He understood the importance of art education in a democratic society and promoted education for all. Proceeds from the sale of his work will benefit the Centers’ annual Student Showcase and provide scholarships to college bound art students.
