Rebecca Johnson was born in Minnesota and will graduate with a Studio Art B.F.A. in 2020 from the University of Minnesota in Duluth, and a Writing Studies B.A. in 2019. She became inspired by mandala designs and color theory in 2015 and incorporates wide color schemes, symmetry, and patterns into her paintings. While she has gladly experimented in several different media, Johnson prefers acrylic and oil paint on canvas, and she continues to explore artistic opportunities in drawing and printmaking.
