My name is Kala Johnson and I’m an independent artist who loves working with children. I’ve enjoyed working as an arts and crafts teacher in many different communities for seven years and it has been a joy introducing the youth to many different forms of art. Influencing young minds has led me to want to venture further into many different avenues of art. Children often share their interests with me regarding their favorite Tv shows, books, and even graphic clothing styles. This has inspired me to want to pursue character design, visual development, and other artistic fields to be a part of the media that they love to share with others. Over the years I have obtained a Master’s Degree in 2D Animation, a Bachelor’s Degree in 2D Animation, created graphic medicine novels for patients in children’s hospitals and the United Nations to help spread disease awareness to other cultures. I’ve also completed a fantasy children’s book that is available on Amazon. I enjoy creating stories and designing many elements that are incorporated into creative projects from characters to props to clothing and more. My current goal is to join a team of creatives and be a part of the animation industry as a visual development artist.
