Meet Valerie Johnson, Exhibiting Artist featured in Arts on Main’s August 2026 Group Show: “On the Farm”
“I have been working primarily in felted fiber art, though don’t hold me to it. I love creating in a variety of different mediums, from paper mache sculptures, costuming, automata, and ceramics. I use whatever medium gets me to my idea. I like the challenge of working in different mediums and incorporating new ideas and concepts into my art. I may begin a felted project that starts as a “painting”, evolves into a sculpture, and in the end is realized as a piece of costuming. I feel that these kinds of zigs and zags require a pretty good sense of humor, which leads to the whimsy often seen in my work.
