Sariah Johnson
My name is Sariah Johnson. I am working on an Associates degree in Media Art Production. From there I’ll pursue a BS in Education to become an art teacher. I worked at the Arts Center summer camp as a Teacher this past summer. I enjoy working with students and inspiring them through Art. I truly believe that art is more than just learning how to pick up a paintbrush or pencil. Art allows children to express their emotions and thoughts in a positive way.

Outside of art I love spending quality time with my family and friends. And my favorite food is sushi!
