Emily Johnson

My name is Emily Johnson. I’m a Kansas City based illustrator and graduate of Kansas City Art Institute. From the start, I’ve always fallen back on art and music as an outlet to express myself and have long since been learning to harness that creativity in a way that’s true to myself. The urge to create has followed me throughout my life and I’m now entering the illustration industry with a passion for visual storytelling, especially sequential narrative. My artwork dips its toes into everything from mundane daily life to vivid daydreams for inspiration. I’m heavily influenced by the music I listen to, poetry, or even cinematography when making my work.
