Simone Johnson

All of the artists represented by PVA are self-taught. Many have refined their craft independently over the years, in institutions, day programs, or group residences. Others were encouraged to develop their artistic talents by family members or friends. While attending Pure Vision Arts, some artists work on commissioned pieces while others are busy creating a body of work for sale or exhibition.

Simone Johnson

 
 

Simone is a 35 year old woman who currently lives in Staten Island with her brother and sister in law. She began attending Pure Vision Arts in 2006 when her art teacher recognized her talent and wanted to find a place for her to further develop her potential. Simone loves making what she refers to as stained glass church art using colored pencils. They are very colorful and geometric designs combined with symbols which include hearts, stars, and crosses. Her work often includes words embedded in her designs such as love, belly dance, friendship and passion. Simone's work was exhibited in her first group show called Urban Visionaries at Pure Vision Arts in January and she was delighted to sell her first drawing. Her work will be included in an upcoming exhibition at the Marlborough gallery in June. In addition to drawing Simone also takes belly dancing classes and performs with a belly dance company in Manhattan.
