“As an Artist, I know that being passionate about my work has helped me advance and succeed in this field. I’ve learned the importance of paying attention to the story that each project is trying to tell, a valuable lesson that has led me to find quality work in diverse projects and gain experience. Motivated and committed to my craft,” I’m capable of transforming an idea into a creative production that leaves an impact on the audience.”
Flora Johnson is a strong supporter of women and showcases their strength and spirituality in her work, and uses bright, bold colour to evoke strong emotions. Flora used her skills by teaching others to paint, has helped them heal and find their own warrior within. Flora volunteers at some local schools to work with students to teach them through stories and art. She is very skilled in many different mediums.
“I am a proud First Nation Indigenous artist who was born in Manitoba, Canada, from the Mosakahiken Cree Nation. I am a survivor of the 60s scoop. Committed to empowering women through art. I feel that my work shows strength, spirituality, and the warrior within all women and families.”
