MARSHALL jOHNSON

Marshall Lysander Johnson, born in Bellingham, Washington, is a graduate of the University of Washington and the Art Center College in Los Angeles.  Johnson's background is a combination of fine art and design.

The Northwest scene is Johnson's main interest, and he leans heavily on nautical subject matter.  While attending college, he did some commercial fishing aboard a purse seiner in the San Juan Islands, and he sails his own boat in Puget Sound waters.  These experiences serve as a resource for his many marine scenes.

Johnson has had many one man shows, exhibiting widely in Puget Sound galleries.  His works have appeared in juried and invitational shows throughout the area.  His paintings hang in many well-known private and corporate collections, including the United States Air Force Pentagon and U.S. Coast Guard collections.  He has been represented on several Craftsman Met Press and Foss Tug calendars.  Among his other activities, Johnson belongs to the Northwest Watercolor Society and is an artist member in the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA).  He is also a member of the Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society.  His home and studio are located in Federal Way, Washington.
