began sculpting bronze in 2015. He worked as a commercial artist in
Phoenix in the mid-1980s also doing illustration for books. Johnson says his
elders taught him respect for animals, especially sheep, cattle, and horses
for they create a sense of home and give humans joy. Fluent in Navajo and

and beauty. Hózhó is the word by which he lives.
