Libby Johnson earned her Bachelor of Fine Art and her Master of Fine Art from Louisiana State University. In 2000 she opened Studio dei Leoni and began teaching group classes on painting, abstraction, and the structure of the human form. Previously she has taught at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Johnson is a painter who uses realistic depictions of nature as a foundation for expressing thoughts, mysteries, and feelings that are intertwined with those images. She uses oil paint because of its organic quality and intense but natural colors.

She’s shown at David Lusk Gallery in Memphis, Tennessee, and has had exhibitions at Harris Gallery in Houston, Texas, and Soren Christiensen in New Orleans, Louisiana. She has work in several different collections including those of Chevron Oil Company, Houston, Texas, Pepsico International, Dallas Texas, Louisiana Arts & Science Museum, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, Louisiana.

This exhibition is presented alongside the latest works from Leslie Koptcho, Mary Jane Parker, and Brandon Surtain. All works from these artists are on view, free of charge, during regular gallery hours (12 - 6 p.m., Tue - Sun) from March 5 - 28, 2024.
