Born in the United States in 1978, Daniel Michael Johnson was raised in Eastern and Central Europe. The cross-cultural pollination between East and West during the final years of the Cold War as well as a familial influence of doctrinal Christianity had and continue to have a profound and at times seemingly contradictory influence on both his worldview and work. His perspective is a direct result of this, arguably unholy combination. Johnson received his BFA in 2005 from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada, and has exhibited in the United States, Canada and Germany. His work is held in private collections on both sides of the Atlantic.
