Nymhaea Drawing

Mary A. Johnson is an American artist who lives and works in Beijing. She creates work using organic materials and digital images; reminiscent of petri dishes, forgotten refrigerators, and Flemish still lives. Her work engages the gaps between the repulsive and the seductive; the image and experience. She has shown her work in the United States and China. Her work is in numerous private collections. Recently, she was invited to participate in ArtNova's "100" Exhibition at the Agricultural Exhibition Center in Beijing and to be a part of the Snow Mountain Artist Residency in Lijiang, the UNESCO World Heritage site in China's Yunnan Province. She is a full time Lecturer at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA).
