Jai Johnson, Jackson, Tennessee Artist

Within the space of the frame, my desire is to bring the casual observer to a point of personal focus with the subject, whether it be a wild animal, a beautiful bird, a loved pet, a serene scene, a beautiful cloud, a fresh flower, or a special object. It is my goal with my art to make important what the normal eye may overlook, and to help the viewer establish a more personal relationship with the subject, while at the same time, loosen up and enjoy the freedom, the whimsy, the moods, and the energy my subjects offer.
