Ninni Johansson

My artist name is Nine, which I sign all my artwork with.
I was born in Sweden in 1975, but didn't do art until recently, but now it's my passion!
I was first introduced to graffiti and streetart in 2011 by a student of mine, when I was working as a junior high teacher. I got interested and by 2012 I had fallen in love with this art form and also tried painting myself (only on legal walls), but having can control is definitely harder than it looks!
2013 I quit my teaching job and moved to Hawaii and went to Leeward Community College. I took my very first art classes and finally I had found my passion and also realized that this was something I was really good at. I spent two amazing years there. 2015 I'm moving back to my hometown Göteborg/Gothenburg in Sweden and I will continue to make art, as much as possible.
