MEET THE ARTIST
Artist Victoria Johnson is an award-winning digital artist, an independent designer, a children's book illustrator, and a self-published author, writing three books in the space of two years. Since entering her first painting in a statewide competition at age seven, creativity has been her calling.
Sketching and painting had always been a hobby, but not long after her career as an independent designer blossomed, her brushes and canvases were traded for design softwares and hard deadlines leaving little time to create art for pleasure.
In 2018, she was given the momentous gift of a digital sketchpad and pen. She started digitally sketching and painting with ferocity, unleashing "The Sketchie Beast" (her artist handle) and rediscovering her passion in creating art for pleasure. Thus would begin the next phase of creative adventure as a digital fine artist.
Since putting digital pen to pad seven years ago, she has had six solo showcases, participated in gallery showings throughout Southern California to Northern California, El Paso TX to Bethlehem PA. She has participated in several art festivals including the exclusive Art-a-Fair in Laguna Beach CA. She has illustrated five children’s books, earning an Honorable Mention award for Lucy's Backyard Adventure.
She serves on the Board of Directors of the La Habra Art Association.
